Portable SSH clients for working between different Windows PCs?
I often work on different Win10 PCs and need access to my VPSs (about 5 nodes). Is there any software could let me bring the server information along without export/import?
Currently I am using putty/kitty portable to save all my SSH configurations/keys on a USB/cloud drive. When I am working on a new PC, I just launch kitty from there.
Any other good options? Thanks.

I use mRemoteNG - Save configurations to google drive. Load configurations file from anywhere if needed
Same, but not GDrive. Been doing that for a long time and it works perfect. I do wish MRNG had an Android app though..

Thanks. So just download the zip from their website, configure one time, and save the config on the cloud or USB, then I can bring it along? I will try that right now.
mRemoteNG is prem.
MobaXterm has a portable version . It's an SSH client and much more

Go tool free with Apache Guacamole
Another approach would be to set up a single VPS that you run screen or tmux in, which is connected to the servers you're managing. Only one set of credentials to memorize.
This thing is godsend. Agreed, only if there was an app for ios or Android. Probably one of the few , I would gladly pay for.
Yep. And this is probably the best SSH client you will ever use on a windows environment.
cmder or Google Cloud Shell.
Well, you always create a batch file and save that batch file into the cloud and sync it across your pc. that's what I do, using putty.
^ much to be said for this approach since it facilitates persistent connections. And, in some situations it's also nice to have the option to restrict ssh access to your other boxes so as to allow access only via your "bastion" host(s).
thinking about this a bit - this setup seems most useful for a "one-to-many" connection scenario. But it will at least solve part (maybe the larger part) of the "many-to-many" requirement described in the OP.
mremote and google cloud shell if behind a proxy
Guacamole!
xshell?

I have the paid version from last year's Black Friday but I believe the free version still syncs the database through Devolutions vault or whatever. Highly recommended.
