It is easy to take a previously saved profile into use. Select the Profiles option on the Profiles toolbar, or from File → Profiles, and you will see a menu of previously saved profiles. Click on a profile name, and a connection using the profile settings is started immediately.

Note that this also works when you are already connected to a remote host computer. Clicking the profile name 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 Tectia ConnectSecure is installed, files with the extension .ssh2 are associated with the Tectia software. This means that you can start Tectia ConnectSecure with any settings file loaded by double-clicking the 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.
