TuT [Tutorial] How to make PuTTY auto connect to your iDevice!

Rook · March 4, 2015

Hey! Here's a tutorial on how to make PuTTY auto connect on one or two of your saved sessions with just 1 click! (well 2 clicks because you double click to open a shortcut )

Note: This will also work with KiTTY or any other similar terminals.

1. Download PuTTY if you haven't got it already from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

2. You will need to create a shortcut on your desktop which links to the putty.exe file. You can easily do this by Right-Clicking the putty.exe -> Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)

3. Right-click on the shortcut file you just created and select Properties from the menu.

4. Once you're in the putty.exe - Shortcut Properties menu, on the "Target:" box, type in

root@111.222.333.4 -pw alpine

after the "C:\Users\USERNAME\PUTTYFOLDER\putty.exe"

Note: Change the 111.222.333.4 to your iDevice's IP Address.

6. Save the modified shortcut file and double click it to automatically open and login to the specified IP along with the username and password automagically!

Laziness level = Over 9000

Enjoy!
