New portaPuTTY
Yes, finally. Sorry it’s taken so long.
This has the embarassingly simple font fix, so your font settings are now properly saved.
After I get some server weirdness fixed tonight or tomorrow, I hope to set up a real system to track bug reports. Probably Trac; it’s overkill for this, really, but it’s pretty simple to use.
Also, there’s now a Google Groups list: portaPuTTY Users

Bugfix für portaPuTTY erschienen…
Da ich ein großer Fan von portablen Applikationen bin habe ich auch lange nach einer portablen Version von PuTTY gesucht. Hierbei fand ich vor einer Weile portaPuTTY. Diese Ausführung speichert alle Einstellungen in Dateien und ist unabhängig von der R…

There does seem to be a small issue for PortableApps users. If portaPuTTY is opened in a “standard” way in Windows, for instance if the program is launched by opening the executable or with a shortcut with the correct working directory set, the .putty folder will exist in the same directory as putty.exe. However, if launched with the PortableApps launcher (and probably anything similar) it will instead check for and/or create a .putty folder in the root directory of the drive that it is installed on (probably, the working directory of the launcher’s executable.) This is an issue in certain situations, for instance if the program is sometimes launched in different ways.
It doesn’t seem to affect many users (casual browsing in the forums at portableapps.com only revealed one post about it) but it is irritating to come across.
Otherwise, great job with this app. Very handy, and IMO a significant improvement over the original.

[…] The last thing that I wanted was a portable SSH client (putty isn’t, it uses the registry for settings) so that I could pipe my connection through a nice secure SOCKS tunnel to an ssh server, as per this Lifehacker article. I’ve been doing this for a while now with a SOCKS4 tunnel on my MacBook, following Rogue Amoeba programmer, Mike Ash’s instructions. Enter PortaPutty, the scatalogically named portable version of the free SSH client, Putty. After some futzing around with Putty, I discovered that I’m too old fashioned to figure out tunnels in it. Maybe I’m mental, or maybe it’s the absolutely awful documentation for putty. The only way I could make it work is to create a little batch file with the following command: plink.exe ssh me@myserver.com -D 9999 (where -D 9999 specified the socks proxy tunnel and port number). Run that batch file from the directory where plink is — plink is part of putty — and the tunnel works like a charm. […]

I’m having a similar issue as [i]kennyj[/i]. I’m using your updated portaPuTTY (a link from the portaputty page to the new release would be nice, since many sites seems to link to the original page only) with PortableApps Suite, on Windows Vista Business. When I launch from the PASuite, the .putty folder shows up on my *desktop*, and doesn’t get deleted when I close/end portaPuTTY.
Any help/input would be appreciated.
