KeePass - Overriding the URL field

The url field can also be used to start a program and, thus, not only to contain a valid URL.

The official documentation is located here: https://keepass.info/help/base/autourl.html.

Start PuTTY from KeePass​

If you don't have PuTTY installed on your machine, download it from https://www.putty.org/. You just need the putty.exe file. If PuTTY refuses your saved session with an authentication error, see Fatal error was starting Putty after having saved settings.

Download it and save putty.exe in a directory present in your PATH.

To do this, even if you're not an administrator of your machine, just start a MS-DOS console and run echo %PATH%. You'll then see the list of directories already present and choose the one where you can copy a new file. Then copy putty.exe in that folder. So, from now on, you can just run putty.exe from anywhere.

Update your KeePass entry and set the URL property to the following instruction: cmd://putty.exe -load "Default Settings" {S:host} -l {USERNAME} -pw {PASSWORD}

Start WinSCP from KeePass​

If you wish to open WinSCP (see also WinSCP - Synchronize host and remote) and see files, you can achieve this by updating your KeePass entry and setting the URL property to the following instruction: cmd://"{ENV_PROGRAMFILES_X86}\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" sftp://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@{S:ip}:{T-REPLACE-RX:/{S:port}/-1//}{S:path}
