Import your SSH config#

If you already keep your hosts in ~/.ssh/config, you can turn those entries into saved profiles rather than type them again. The import reads that file, shows you what it found, and saves the entries you tick.

Run the import#

Open the New Session panel, go to SSH Saved Profiles, and select the import button on the right of the search box. A window titled Import from SSH config lists every host it could read.

A row notes the bastion where the entry uses ProxyJump. An entry with no user of its own shows (user) in place of a username.

Every host starts ticked. Untick the ones you do not want. The button counts what you selected. If the file has no usable entries, the window says so instead.

Which directives are read#

The import reads six directives and ignores everything else: Host, HostName, User, Port, IdentityFile, and ProxyJump. Where a value appears more than once for a host, the first one wins, which matches how SSH itself resolves the file.

Each imported host becomes a profile named after its alias. If the entry has an IdentityFile, the profile uses Key File authentication with that path. If not, the profile uses SSH Agent. A ProxyJump value becomes the profile's jump host. Every imported profile gets the tag imported, so you can find the whole batch when you search for that tag.

Note Pattern entries are skipped. A Host line containing * or ? is not imported at all, and a line listing several aliases imports only the first. Both are common in a hand-written config, so expect fewer profiles than the file has entries.

The import only reads your config file. It writes nothing back, and a second import of the same file creates a second set of profiles rather than an update to the first.

Use the imported profiles#

Imported profiles behave like any other. An SSH config holds no passwords, so an imported profile authenticates with a key or your agent. If a host actually needs a password, edit the profile and change its auth method.

If some hosts fail to save, the window stays open and tells you which ones, so you can retry without a fresh start.
