I currently use Chromium on a Windows XP desktop. When I click on a link prefixed with ssh:// I'd like it to run Putty, but nothing happens. How can I configure Chromium to execute Putty for such links?

Chrome/Chromium does not handle unknown protocol://s by itself, instead it handles it to OS/DE running on parent system, so you just need to register ssh:// protocol for PuTTY.

As PuTTY original developer does not want to implement this feature, there is a modified version that supports this feature. Note that you'll need to run the installer from that page in order for protocol handler to be registered.

Thank you! However, the modified version link isnt working anymore. I guess it's edv-bartl.at/index.php?id=22&L=1 – Philippe Jul 8 '11 at 9:58
