Generate/SecureFXsysicon.jpg  Session Options Dialog


The Session Options dialog is accessed from the main SecureFX window by opening the Options menu and selecting Session Options.... This dialog can also be reached from the Connect dialog by clicking on either the New Session button or Properties button.  

IMPORTANT: If you edit a session to which you are currently connected, the settings will revert back to your old settings when you close the session. To permanently change session options, close the session, make the edits, and then reopen the session.

The Session Options dialog allows you to create a new session [A session is a set of options that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine in SecureFX. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.] or to modify an existing session. The available categories and subcategories are as follows:
