Saving Settings
When you have made changes to the settings, an asterisk (*)
is displayed on the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations title bar, after the name of the
current settings file (for example: default*). This indicates that the
changed settings are not yet permanent - they have not been saved
yet.
If you want to make the changes permanent, you can save them for later use.
Click the Save button on the toolbar, or select the Save
Settings option from the File menu to save any changes you have
made to your current settings. The changes will be saved in the
default settings file, default.ssh2
The default settings file is loaded automatically when you start the client.
Therefore all the settings that you save in the default settings file take
effect immediately when you launch the client. These settings are also used for
connections started with the Quick Connect option (see section Quick Connect).
The positions of the currently open terminal and file transfer windows can be
saved separately with the Save Layout option of the File menu.
If you arrange your window positions to suit your own taste and save
the layout settings in the default settings file, the windows will be
automatically positioned the way you prefer them when you next run the client.
Note that by default all of the windows will be opened at once. This can be
changed on the Appearance page of the Settings dialog so that
the previously positioned windows are opened on demand when you open new
terminal and File Transfer windows - see Section
Appearance.
If you spend a lot of effort specifying your own settings, it is a good idea to
create backup copies of the modified settings files (*.ssh2) and store
them in a safe location. This way you will not have to create your personal
settings again, if your settings files are later lost for some reason (such as a
hardware failure).
