Getting started

First launch

SSHive opens in the language of the Mac (English, French, German and Spanish). To change it: Settings > General, Language.

The welcome screen

As long as no session is open, SSHive shows the welcome screen:

  • New Connection: create your first server.
  • Import ~/.ssh/config: take over the servers you already use with ssh.
  • Serial console: a console cable to a router or a switch.
  • Three columns of shortcuts: Protocols, Tools (OTP Authenticator, Network Tools, MCP server) and Identities (SSH Keys, Shared Accounts, SSH Agent).
  • The main keyboard shortcuts, and All shortcuts.

The window

Les quatre zones de la fenêtre : barre latérale, onglets, zone de travail, barre d'état
The four areas of the window: sidebar, tabs, work area, status bar
  1. The sidebar (⌘B hides it): your servers, the open sessions, the favourites and the recent connections. At the top, the search field and the Network Tools, OTP Authenticator, Shared Accounts and Settings buttons.
  2. The tab bar: one session per tab.
  3. The work area: a terminal, files, or a remote desktop.
  4. The status bar, at the bottom: how many sessions are open, the active tunnels, the jump hosts, the SSH agent in use, and FREE or PRO.

Next step: create an SSH connection.

Applies to SSHive 2.0.6 on Mac
