Under the Connection Profile page, on the Connection tab, you can define the protocol settings used in the connection. Any changed connection settings will take effect the next time you log in.
In Profile name, type a name for the profile.
In Host name, enter the name of the remote host computer to which you want to connect with the profile.
In Port number, enter the port number you want to use for the Secure Shell connection. The default port is 22.
Note | |
---|---|
A Secure Shell server program must be listening to the specified port on the remote host computer or the connection attempt will not succeed. If you are unsure which port the remote host computer is listening to, contact the system administrator of the remote host. |
Select Use current user name if the connection should always be
made using the currently logged in
Unix user name. This is similar to defining
%USERNAME%
(note the percent signs) as the user name.
Select Specify user name and enter the user name, if you want to
define the user name to be used when connecting to the remote host computer. If you
specify %USERNAME%
(note the percent signs) as the user name, it will be
replaced with the name of the current
Unix user account upon connecting.
