The Connect Bar

The SecureFX connect bar provides a command-based method that allows you to enter and connect to a session or sessions.

The connect bar is accessed via the toolbar or by typing the COMMAND+R key combination. The connect bar can be displayed or hidden by selecting or deselecting the Connect Bar option on the View menu.

Syntax Examples

The following is an example of how to open a new connection. The host can be an IP address or a named host. If only the host is specified, the default protocol and port will be used.

[<protocol>://][<user>[:<password>]@]<host>[:<port>]

The following is an example of how to open a specific session.

/S <session name>

The following is an example of how to open a connection to <host> using <firewall>.

/FIREWALL=<firewall> ssh2://[<user>]@<host>

Using SecureCRT's dependent session option on the command line or in the connect bar (as in the following example), it's possible to link a session to an SSH2 session that it depends on, which allows connection to a jump host before connecting to other sessions.

Both the command line and the connect bar use the normal /Firewall specifier and the firewall will be Session:<session name> with the following syntax.

/FIREWALL=Session:<Session Name> ssh2://[<user>]@<host>

Session: is case insensitive.
