First connect

After setting your master password, you’ll see the empty sessions sidebar. Let’s connect to a server.

Create a session

1. Click New session in the sidebar (or right-click → New session).
2. Pick SSH as the session kind.
3. Fill in:
   • Host — e.g. example.com or an IP address.
   • Port — 22 unless your server uses a different port.
   • Username — your remote user.
   • Auth method — Password, Private key, or SSH agent.
4. Click Save.

The session appears in the sidebar.

Connect

Double-click the saved session (or right-click → Connect). A new tab opens.

• On first connect, ezTerm shows the server’s host-key fingerprint. Verify it matches what your server admin published, then click Trust. Subsequent connects use the stored key — a mismatch is a hard failure (see SSH docs for TOFU details).
• If auth fails, an inline overlay appears in the tab — fix the credentials there without closing the tab.

What you can do now

• Terminal — full xterm.js with 24-bit colour, scrollback, find (Ctrl+Shift+F), copy (Ctrl+Shift+C), paste (Ctrl+Shift+V or Shift+Insert).
• SFTP — click the SFTP toggle on the tab to open a docked file browser on the same connection.
• Forwards — open the Forwards side-pane to add a port forward to the running session.
