putty as default connection app
I have Remote Desktop Manager 2026.1.22.0. 64-bit installed.
I have imported several hosts with IPs using port 22 (in a csv file) - from another PC with Remote Desktop Manager.
How do I enable Putty to be the fault connection client on this new computer? (Putty is installed on this computer as well.) Right now, when I double click a host, I get a window saying Connecting ....., and then nothing happens. I do not see the putty window

It shows connection type for each of the hosts as Microsoft Remote Desktop. How to change it to use Putty?
You cannot change the connection type for a session, as far as I know
What is preventing you from creating a new session?
May I also strongly suggest you do not use PuTTY
If you start using the Windows Terminal (presuming you are on Windows) in combination with the now builtin ssh client on Windows, you will get a much more pleasant experience

@rolflobker
I have about 620 sessions that were imported as a CSV file... So it wont be an easy task to create new sessions for each.
How do I change the connection type to Windows Terminal? Right now, if I double-click on a session, it says connecting, and then expires.
This is the error message that I see when I click on a host, and the connection expires. Where does one update the protocol? I have confirmed that the port number is correct.
