Since putty.exe is so small you could make a bunch of copies. Launch putty1.exe for the first session, etc.

- laumars 13y agoDuplicating the PuTTY binary for each session makes about as much sense as having a separate MS Office installation for each and every Word document.
- ape4 13y agoExcept Word is huge and probably can't handle multiple installations. I admit its a hack.
- laumars 13y agoIt's not Word that would handle the multiple installations, it would be your HDD - since all that matters is the storage space you have available. But that's moot as you'ed missed my point. I'm talking about how you only need one install of Word to open up multiple unique word documents. Just as you only need one copy of PuTTY to run multiple unique SSH sessions. duplicating the exe isn't a hack; it's just an unnecessary waste of disk space since you gain literally nothing (all the different exe's will point to the same registry keys for their profiles and all the exe's can run multiple instances). And this is why I made my Word analogy - because what you're advising is worse than useless.
