Saved connections

SSH, SFTP and RDP entries live in one list, grouped into folders, searchable, most recently used first. File transfer sees SSH entries too, because SFTP runs over SSH and they are the same device.

Saving one

Fill in the connection form and tick Save password before connecting. The label is what shows in the list; the group is a folder — use the site or customer name. Leaving the password unticked still records the entry, so the host and username prefill next time and only the password is asked for.

Where the password goes

Encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305 under the key derived from your app password, in the app’s own store. Not the Windows Credential Manager, not the registry, and not in any recoverable form. RDP is the exception: Windows’ client needs the credential handed to it through the Credential Manager, so an RDP password goes there at launch rather than onto a command line where any process could read it.

Reconnecting

Click an entry. If it has a saved password, or it uses a private key, it connects straight away. If it has neither, the form opens with everything filled in except the credential.

Housekeeping

• Duplicate an entry when a site has eight switches that differ by one octet.
• Forget password keeps the entry and drops the stored credential.
• Editing the host, port or username re-keys the record, because those three are its identity.
• A file-transfer profile can carry a remote path, so a device you use often opens in the right directory.
