I've done this the hard way a few times now (by hand) and finally took a moment to find instructions online how to do this.  I've confirmed that it works like a charm if you use PuTTY and need to install it on a new pc while saving your connections.

(As for the original source of this, I don't know -- I found the same instructions in multiple search results)

-----------------
PuTTY stores its session information in the registry...

   1. On the old computer, open up a command prompt, and run:

      regedit /ea new.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY

   2. Copy new.reg onto the new computer

   3. On the new computer, open up a command prompt, and run:

      regedit /s new.reg
