Secure Shell - SSH

Secure shell (openssh) connections use shared key encryption to protect the data transmitted between

client and server. This is a very secure form of text-mode terminal connection. The SSH Connection

Details window is simple, with just four fields.

The Connection name and Server fields are common to all connections. As with other connections,

the “Server” field should be filled in with the DNS network name or IP address of the ssh server. The

port defaults to 22, the usual port on which ssh server daemons run. The “Username” field is optional.

If left blank, the user will be asked for a username when the connection is started.
