Planned workflow
Rosie SSH is coming soon. Saved-host behavior may change before a public release.
Outcome
The planned saved-host workflow keeps connection details on the device and opens a terminal session when the host is reachable.
Before you start
Create a host with its address, port, username, and authentication method. Keep the server’s expected host-key fingerprint available for verification.
Steps
- Open Hosts and choose Add Host.
- Enter the host details and choose a saved SSH key or password method.
- Save the host and tap it to connect.
- Review the host-key prompt on first connection or after a key changes.
- Open the terminal after authentication succeeds.
Expected result
The terminal session opens, and the saved host metadata remains on the device. Credentials and private keys are intended for local Keychain storage.
Recovery
If authentication or host verification fails, use Rosie SSH Troubleshooting. The app cannot approve a changed host key safely without your verification.
