Saving Settings

When you have changed the settings, an asterisk (*) is displayed on the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client title bar, after the name of the current settings file (for example: default*). This indicates that the changed settings are not yet permanent - they have not been saved yet.

If you want to make the changes permanent, you can save them for later use. Click the Save button on the toolbar, or select the Save Setings menu option from the File menu to save any changes you have made to your current settings. The changes will be saved in the default settings file, default.ssh2.

The default settings file is loaded automatically when you start the SSH Secure Shell client. Therefore all the settings that you save in the default settings file take effect immediately when you run the ssh2 client. These settings are also used for connections started with the Quick Connect option (see section Quick Connect).

Note that when you save the current settings, the positions of the currently open terminal and file transfer windows are also saved. If you arrange your window positions to suit your own taste and save the settings in the default settings file, the windows will be automatically positioned the way you prefere when you next run the SSH Secure Shell client.

If you spend a lot of effort customizing your own settings, it is a good idea to create backup copies of your customized settings files (*.ssh2) and store them in a safe location. This way you will not have to create the custom settings again, if for some reason (such as hardware failure) your settings files are lost.
