Loading Settings

It is easy to use a profile that has been previously saved. Select the Profiles option (from the Profiles toolbar or the File menu), and you will see a menu of previously saved profiles. Click on a profile, and a connection using the profile settings will immediately be started.

Note that this also works when you are already connected to a remote host computer. The profile will start a new, separate connection.

Another way to load the settings for a particular connection is to double-click the settings file name, for example in Windows Explorer. When the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client is installed, files with the extension .ssh2 are associated with the SSH Secure Shell client. This means that you can start the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client with any settings file loaded by just doubleclicking on that settings file.

If you regularly connect to several remote host computers, you can create shortcuts to the corresponding settings files for example on the Windows desktop. This way you can quickly open the desired connection with the relevant settings already defined, just by clicking on an icon on the desktop.
