Termy 1.7.9: OpenSSH Config
Keep your hosts and jump routes in ~/.ssh/config and let Termy use them directly.
One Source of Truth
- Link a Termy host to an OpenSSH Host alias. Choose SSH Config as the route, enter the alias, and preview the resolved destination before saving.
- Connection settings stay current. Termy re-reads HostName, User, Port, Include, and ProxyJump before every new connection and reconnect.
- Imported hosts can remain linked. The SSH config importer can keep hosts connected to the default config instead of creating a one-time snapshot.
ProxyJump & Safety
- Multi-hop and nested ProxyJump routes are supported. Saved Termy credentials are reused for matching jump hosts, while other hops can use the target host's configured authentication.
- Authentication remains under your control. Termy continues to use its saved authentication or your SSH agent and never opens private keys merely because they appear as IdentityFile entries.
- Unsafe or unsupported routes fail clearly. Invalid ports, malformed or cyclic jump chains, and ProxyCommand routes are rejected instead of being silently bypassed. Match and ProxyCommand commands are never executed.
