Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

SSH (Secure Shell) support allows you to make a secure connection to a host computer. The host computer must be configured to support secure connections.

1.Open the Host menu and select the Connect command or use the blue up arrow on the toolbar.
2.Fill in the Connect to Host dialog box. Make sure you specify the SSH radio button. The SSH radio button selection defaults to the "SSHv1 or SSHv2" protocol password authentication. If you need to modify the default configuration go to step 3 otherwise skip to step 6.
3.Click the Advanced… button and select Security under Setup Items to display the Security pane of Session Setup dialog box.
4.Select the desired SSH encryption protocol.
