SSH Connection Settings General Page

Use the options in the General page to set host and login information for access to hosts using SSH. The information that you type is saved when you save your session, and used whenever you use the same session profile.

Table 3-35 SSH General Page Dialog Settings

Setting	Description
Host	Type the name of the host to which you want to connect, or select a host name from the list.
SSH Configuration Scheme	Secure Shell configuration information is saved to your Secure Shell configuration file using SSH configuration schemes. When you make a Secure Shell connection, Extra! uses the current SSH configuration scheme to determine how the connection should be made. Also, when you make any changes to your settings, Extra! saves those changes to the current SSH configuration scheme. If you want to configure Secure Shell settings that are specific to a particular host, your SSH configuration scheme name should be the same as your host name.
Prompt for Host when Connecting	Select this option to choose a host each time you start this session.
Choose Host Name Now	Select this option to connect to the same host each time you start this session.
User ID	Enter your User ID.
Advanced	Select this button to access theSecure Shell Settings dialog box. Documentation for this feature is separate from the user guide. To access the Secure Shell Settings dialog documentation, select the help in the dialog.
Leave Disconnected	If you select this option, Extra! will not attempt to reconnect to the host. If you wish to reconnect, you will have to do so manually by choosing the Connect menu command or the Connect/Disconnect toolbar button.
Prompt for Reconnection	When selected, Extra! asks you to choose a host from a list of host addresses before attempting to reconnect the session.
Reconnect Automatically	When selected, Extra! attempts to reconnect to the host automatically, without prompting you first.
Exit Session Automatically	When selected, your session ends immediately if a disconnection occurs.
