There are two ways to use SSH Secure Shell to connect to remote
computers.
If you have created a bookmark (or "Profile" as SSH Secure Shell
calls them), you can use that to connect.
If you want to connect to a machine only once, Method 2 below shows you how to
do so without creating a bookmark.
Method 1
- After you have made a bookmark (see How Do I
Create Bookmarks Using SSH Secure Shell/SFTP?), click
Profiles, then click on the profile name that
you created:
- A window similar to the one below will appear:
Or you may see a window similar to the one below:
If you have not connected to the remote computer from your personal
computer before, you do not have a host key saved for that remote host. A
host key is part of the system that makes SSH
secure (see SSH Secure Shell/SFTP). To save the host
key to your remote computer, click Yes.
- At the prompt, enter your password. If you enter it
incorrectly, SSH Secure Shell will continue to prompt you until you enter it
correctly.
- A window similar to the one below will appear:
Note: If you are connecting to an SGI computer (delta, an 02,
or an Indy), you will have to re-enter your password before getting a prompt.
This problem is caused by a bug in AFS/ssh.
Method 2
- For step #1, instead of using a bookmark, press the
[spacebar] or [enter] key. A window will pop
up similar to the one below:
- Enter the Host Name and User Name (just
as if you were creating a bookmark), then click Connect.
- Now follow the instructions above, starting with step #2.
Note: The connection information is not saved in a bookmark,
but if you have to connect to multiple computers only once, this method can
definitely be a time saver.
