Add an SSH host

To ad a host, you will need your server address and username.

Save a server so it is ready to open from the Host List.

Step by step

  1. Add a host

    From the Host List, tap the plus button to add a host.

  2. Enter the connection details

    In Quick connect, enter your username, server address, and optionally port, like [email protected]. Remember, this is only an example host, so you must replace these example details with your own. Port 22 is the usual SSH port.

  3. Save the host

    Tap Add host to save the connection.

  4. Find your saved host

    The saved host appears in the Host List. Simply tap it when you are ready to connect.
