Connect to your servers

Add a server

In Connections, click New connection. Enter the address, port and user name, and choose how to sign in: Password, Private key or Automatic (like the ssh command: the keys from your SSH config and ~/.ssh first, then a password).

Check the host key

The first time you connect, OwlAttic Terminal shows the server’s host key fingerprint. Confirm it only if it matches the fingerprint you expect; from then on, OwlAttic Terminal warns you if it changes.

Keep passwords in the vault

Tick Remember password to save a password. The first time, you set a master password: the vault is encrypted with it on your computer, and it cannot be recovered if you forget it.

Import your SSH config

If you already use ~/.ssh/config, choose Import in Connections to bring in its hosts, with their users, ports, keys and jump hosts.
