SSH Connection

Use SSH connection
If this option is enabled you will be able to configure that the host communication will be routed through the SSH server specified addressed.

Please note that if Use SSL Connection and Use SSH Connection both are selected, SSL will be used.

Server address
Specify the address to the SSH server. The default port number for a SSH server is 22 and will be used if not specified. Another port number may be specified after the host name or IP address, using a colon (:) to separate it from the rest of the address.

IPv6 address
If an IPv6 address is specified and you have to specify a port number, use the following syntax:

   [IPv6 address]:port

for example

   [2001:db8:85a3:0:0:8a2e:370:7334]:673

User name
Specify the SSH user name. If not specified, the user name will be asked for at connect time.

Password
Specify the password (passphrase) for client authentication. If not specified, the password will be asked for at connect time. If a password is not needed, supply a * to avoid that the password is asked for at connect time.

Private key file
If a private key is needed for client authentication, specify the file name to a private key file . If the private key is passphrase protected, supply the passphrase in the Password field.

Keep alive interval
Specify the interval in seconds for the keep alive messages sent to host. Default value is 0, which means no keep alive messages are sent.
