Manage Connections

The Manage Connections window is used to create, edit, rename, delete, and otherwise manage connections. To access this window, use Connect→Manage Connections.

Example Manage Connections window.

The window has the following elements:

Active

Whether each connection is currently active, meaning that it has been opened and a server is connected (Yes or No). The colors used in this column can be customized using a stylesheet.

Batch connections do not have an active or inactive status.

Name

The name of each connection. There are some limitations on names, for example, names must start with an alphanumeric character. Invalid names will be flagged when creating a new connection.

The connections associated with the persistent user server and transient local server are fixed and always present.

Favorite

Connections marked as favorite will be displayed in Connect→Favorites. Additionally, the most recently favorited connections of each type will be displayed directly in the Connect menu itself.

Type

Each connection's configured Type.

Launch From

The server that each connection is configured to LaunchFrom. If blank, the connection is run directly by qtermy. The server name shown comes from the server's saved state.

Command
