Export and import your profiles

Pro

To move to another Mac, to keep a backup, or to hand a list of servers to a colleague. To keep several devices aligned all the time, iCloud is the better answer.

Exporting

  1. Settings > Import / Export, Export profiles.
  2. Choose With passwords (encrypted) or Without passwords.
  3. With passwords: type a Passphrase, 8 characters at least, and confirm it. It will be asked for on import; without it the file cannot be read.
  4. Optional: Include OTP tokens, which makes the encryption compulsory, and the settings.
  5. Export to file… writes a .sshive file named after the day.
L'export chiffré des profils
The encrypted export of the profiles

The file holds the servers and the shared accounts. Encrypted, it also holds passwords, passphrases and managed keys. A key you picked as a file on disk is not in it. Never exported: the AI assistant's token and permissions, the master password, Touch ID, the SSH agent choices, and the API key of the terminal assistant.

Importing

  1. Settings > Import / Export, Import profiles.
  2. Merge, which adds to the servers already there, or Replace all, which cannot be undone.
  3. Choose a .sshive file…. If it is encrypted, type the passphrase, then Decrypt.

From another program

The Import from another tool section reads a PuTTY session file (.reg), Royal TSX (.rtsx) or MobaXterm (.ini).
