Aqua Data Studio includes a SSH Environment - an interactive Unix-like command-line interface. SSH is used for remote login and secure communications with remote servers over unsecured networks. The SSH interface is integrated in the IDE and utilizes all Aqua Data Studio GUI capabilities such as a tabbed window interface, customized tabs, search functions, keyboard mapping, docking framework and Shortcut Toolbar shortcuts. Advanced Server Properties also allow the use of Private Key Authentication.

Registering a an SSH Server

This is very similar to how database servers are registered. Once you have installed Aqua Data Studio you will need to register your servers before you get started. There are two methods of registering ssh servers, both of which launch the Register SSH Server dialog

• You can navigate to the Main Application Menu to Server, then select Register SSH Server
• You can right-click in the Servers Browser to bring up the context menu and select Register SSH Server

Both of these this launch the Register SSH Server dialog, which lets you fill in the properties of the SSH server you are attempting to connect to.

The properties of any registered SSH server can be viewed and altered by right-clicking on a server in the Servers Browser and selecting "Properties."

It is  is possible to register servers by using a configuration copied from another user. The servers from a copied configuration will populate the Servers Browser, but passwords will have to be entered within the properties of each one. Passwords do not copy when configurations are duplicated. See the "Configuration & Connection Files" section for more information on sharing and portability of Aqua Data Studio configurations.
