Last updated
SuperPuTTY stores its session database as one XML file in Documents by default. Folders, hosts, protocols, usernames, and PuTTY profile links all live there. The settings folder option relocates it, so synced drives work.
Passwords deserve caution. The XML can carry them in recoverable form, which is why the file shows up in security guides. Underlying PuTTY sessions stay separate in the PuTTY registry or files. Layouts save window states beside the session database in the same folder.
Where SuperPuTTY stores this, by platform
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\SuperPuTTY\Sessions.xml
Session database XML. Back it up with SuperPuTTY closed. Holds hosts, folders, and PuTTY profile references.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move SuperPuTTY sessions?
Use File, Export Sessions to xml, then import on the new box. That carries folders and layouts without touching PuTTY itself.
Can sessions live outside Documents?
Open Tools, Options and set the Settings Folder. Sessions.xml and layouts follow it, which suits synced folders.
