SSH settings

The SSH protocol allows for secure communication between an SSH server and a client by establishing an SSH connection. This connection can be used to access remote machines and execute commands. SSH tunneling is also offered as a way to securely transmit data over an insecure network. Data is encrypted on one side of the connection and decrypted on the other, providing privacy and ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the data.

ERBuilder allows you to create an SSH connection with your remote server using two authentication methods.

• Fill in the Host field with the name or IP address of the SSH Server.
• Fill in the TCP/IP port to connect to the SSH Server. By default, it is 22.
• Select “Password authentication” then input login information required to connect to the SSH server: the username and the password.
