Window Menu
The Window menu allows you to open and close different types of windows.
New Terminal
Select the New Terminal option to open a new terminal window.
The new window uses the same connections to the remote host
computer as the current window, saving you the trouble
of typing your password again.
Multiple windows to a single connection allow you to for example debug
your code in one window, execute it in another, display reference
information in a third one, and read your e-mail in a fourth window.
The sequence number of each window is displayed on the title bar of the
window, next to the remote host computer name. For example, a second
window associated with a connection to a host computer called
remote
would be shown as 2:remote
.
To close any extra windows when you no longer need them, click on the X-
shaped close button located on the title bar of the window in the upper
right-hand corner of the window. Do not click Disconnect or
select File -> Disconnect, as this would close the
connection in all windows associated with this particular connection.
New File Transfer
Select the New File Transfer option to open a new file transfer
window. To make file handling as easy as possible, you can open an
unlimited number of file transfer windows.
The sequence number of each window is displayed on the title bar of the
window, next to the remote host computer name. For example, a third
window associated with a connection to a host computer called
remote
would be shown as 3:remote
.
To close any extra windows when you no longer need them, click on the X-
shaped close button located on the title bar of the window, in the upper
right-hand corner of the window. Do not click Disconnect or
select File -> Disconnect, as this would close the
connection in all windows associated with this particular connection.
New Terminal in Current Directory
Select the New Terminal in Current Directory option to open a new
terminal window in the current remote directory.
New File Transfer in Current Directory
Select the New File Transfer in Current Directory option to open a new
file transfer window in the current remote directory.
New Windows Explorer
The New Windows Explorer menu option is available only in the File
Transfer window.
Select the New Windows Explorer option to open a new
Windows Explorer window. The Windows Explorer is the familiar
Windows utility that can be used to manage the files and folders on your
local computer. You can have multiple Explorer windows open at the same
time to make file management easier.
Close
Select the Close option to close the current window. Other windows are
unaffected, even if they are associated with the same connection.
Close All Others
Select the Close all Others option to close all the other SSH Tectia Client
windows associated with the active connection.
A single connection can have several windows open (such as an
SSH Tectia Client terminal window and a file transfer window). The Close
All Others operation affects all the other windows associated with
a particular connection.
However, if you have started other, separate clients, they are not affected by
this operation. Close All Others only affects one connection and all of
its associated windows but no other connections.
