SSH key

An SSH key is a public and private key pair used by the Secure Shell protocol to authenticate to remote systems without passwords.

In Remote Desktop Manager, manage SSH keys with an SSH key entry (generate, import, or link a local key) or use the SSH key generator for quick creation. For seamless authentication across sessions, the key agent manager can hold keys in memory and you can enable key agent forwarding when needed.
