Import - From Other SSH Clients to WebSSH
When you need to import connections into WebSSH, you can use the "webssh import" command line inside mashREPL.
The other way around
To write all your WebSSH connections into a single ssh_config file, see Export - From WebSSH to an ssh_config File.
Relatively Young Tool
- This tool has been introduced in version 24 of WebSSH in order to help users to import their connections from other SSH clients.
- This tool is relatively young and will be improved over time. Feel free to contact me if you have any question or suggestion.
Backup Your Data
- This tool is a powerful tool that can alter your data if you don't use it carefully or if a bug occurs (more likely)
- It is strongly advised to backup your data before using this tool.
From : ssh_config
When you use ssh_config inside WebSSH no connection is imported because by default this configuration file is only used to overwrite the default connection settings : learn more
In some cases, you may want to import your ssh_config aliases into WebSSH. To do so, you can use the following command line (dry run) :
webssh import sshconfig
If you want to import them, without any dry run, you can use the following command line :
webssh import sshconfig --apply
If you want to overwrite already existing connections (by alias name), you can use the following command line :
webssh import sshconfig --apply --overwrite
You can also specify a custom ssh_config filepath (since WebSSH 24.3) :
webssh import sshconfig --from-file my_config_file
