General SSH/SFTP settings

This section allows you to configure some basic/general SSH/SFTP/SCP protocol handler settings; here’s a few things you need to know about them:

  • Software ID: this field must follow the SSH2 protocol standard requirements for the software identification field
  • Welcome message: this is a free text field that will be shown by SSH/SFTP clients that support this functionality (not all of them do); this field supports pre-processor variables
  • Open tunnels prevent session timeout: this setting instruct the server to override and completely bypass the session timeout setting if a client has open SSH2 tunnels with/through this server
  • Use allocator: pre-allocate memory slices, which results in higher memory usage under small server loads, but may help decrease memory consumption under very high server loads
