Quick Connect

Select the Quick Connect option (from the toolbar or from the File menu) to establish a completely new SSH connection that can be operated independently of any other clients and connections. You can connect to an entirely new remote host computer and still keep the old connection to a different host open.

The Connect to Remote Host dialog will open, automatically filled in with the values defined in the default configuration file (default.ssh2). Therefore it makes sense to use the Settings dialog (see section Saving Settings) to set the most commonly used options and save them in the default.ssh2 configuration file.

When you need to establish a new connection, just click the Quick Connect button to connect to a new host with the default settings. When connected, you can then customize the settings to match your exact requirements for this particular host and save the settings as this host's profile (see section Profiles).

But there is an even faster alternative. When you login using the default settings, the Add Profile dialog is briefly and non-intrusively shown. Click on the dialog and write in the name for the new profile. When you press the Enter key, the profile is automatically saved. It is accessible from the Profiles menu, and can later be fully customized.
