Remote access

SSH terminal with password & key auth, Telnet and Serial transports, tabs, split panes, and port forwarding.

The terminal supports SSH with password and private-key authentication, plus host-key verification (TOFU) on first connect. Telnet and Serial transports are also available (Serial on desktop).

  • Multi-tab sessions with split panes and auto-reconnect
  • Password & private-key authentication
  • Host-key verification on first connect (TOFU)
  • Port forwarding — Local (-L) and Dynamic / SOCKS5 (-D)
  • Telnet and Serial transports

Add an SSH connection

Save a reusable SSH profile in a few steps:

  1. 1
    In the tab bar, click + (New tab) to open the quick-launch palette, then choose Manage profiles at the bottom. This opens Settings → Profiles.
  2. 2
    Click the + New button (top-right of the list) and choose New profile.
  3. 3
    In “Select a base profile to use as a template”, pick SSH connection. Tip: use ↑ / ↓ then Enter.
  4. 4
    The profile editor opens on the GENERAL tab. Fill in the fields below.
  5. 5
    Click Save. Your profile now appears in the list.
NameA label for the connection, e.g. “Production VPS”.
HostThe server address — a domain like example.com or an IP.
PortThe SSH port (22 by default).
UsernameThe account you log in as, e.g. root or deploy.
Authentication methodChoose Auto, Password, Key, Agent, or Interactive. Selecting Password reveals a Password field (stored encrypted in the OS keychain — leave it blank to keep the existing one); Key reveals a Private key path field (e.g. C:\Users\you\.ssh\id_ed25519).
Group, Icon, and Color are optional — they just help you organize and spot profiles in the list. You can also duplicate an existing profile from the same “New profile” picker.

The editor has more tabs across the top: PORTS for tunnels, DATABASES for database connections that ride this SSH tunnel, plus ADVANCED, CIPHERS, COLORS, LOGIN SCRIPTS, and INPUT.

Connect & trust the host key

  1. 1
    Click your profile in the list to connect — or open a New tab (+) and pick it from the palette.
  2. 2
    On the first connection, Moorix shows the server’s host-key fingerprint. Verify it matches your server, then accept to trust it (TOFU). Later connections verify automatically and warn you if the key ever changes.

Set up a port forward

Reach internal services or route traffic securely through the server, right from the profile.

  1. 1
    Edit the profile and open the PORTS tab.
  2. 2
    Click Add a port forward and choose the type: Local (-L), Remote, or Dynamic / SOCKS5 (-D).
  3. 3
    Set the bind host and port (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8000) — and, for Local/Remote, the target host:port.
  4. 4
    Save. The tunnel opens automatically with the session.
