Creating a New Session with Quick Connect

The Quick Connect dialog is the fastest way to create a new session and connect to the machine associated with it. The dialog can be opened by clicking on the Quick Connect toolbar button on either the SecureFX session window or the Connect dialog, or by opening the File menu and selecting the Quick Connect menu option.

In the Quick Connect dialog, specify the protocol you will be using, the hostname or IP address, and any other information necessary to make the connection.

When you are finished entering the necessary settings for the connection, click on the Connect button and you will be connected to the specified host. If the Save session option is selected (this option is on by default), a session will be created and stored for future use under the name of the host or IP address you specified.

Note: You can customize SecureFX to display the Quick Connect dialog on startup rather than the Connect dialog by selecting the Show quick connect on start up option located in the Quick Connect dialog.
