  • User Settings Folder

    The directory path to your personal data files is displayed in the text field next to the Browse button. Note that this is not an editable field - the location of these files is fixed.

    Your personal files include the settings file (default name default.ssh2), your public and private keys, host keys and the keyboard mapping file (KEYMAP.MAP).

    Click the Browse button to quickly access your personal data files. The folder where the settings files are saved will appear. This is useful if you for example want to copy or backup your personal settings.

    Note that your private keys should always be kept secret. This is important to remember if you are sharing your local computer with other users. In such case, it is not advisable to store your private keys in the local disk. For more information on the key files, see section Using Public Key Authentication
