SSH Hosts
The SSH page is a connection manager for the servers you work with. Saved hosts, keys, and the known_hosts file all live under C:\laraenv\ssh\, with one folder per host for its keys.
Finding the right host
The redesigned workspace stays useful as your server list grows:
- Search matches host name, user, address, port, and tags.
- Tag filters narrow the page to an environment, client, or any label you use.
- Recent, Production, and Other hosts keep frequently used and sensitive servers visually separated.
- Grid and list views let you choose between overview and density.
Saving a host
Each host entry stores:
- Name — a friendly label for the server.
- Address and Port — the hostname or IP and SSH port.
- User — the login user.
- Auth mode — password or key.
- Password (optional) — stored for password auth.
- Key reference (optional) — the key to use for key auth (see Key generation & import).
- Tags — labels you can filter by.
- Advanced options — ProxyJump and ProxyCommand for connecting through a bastion or a custom command.
Testing a connection
Test connection runs a TCP connect followed by an SSH handshake, then reports the latency and the server's reported SSH version. This is a quick way to confirm an address, port, and credentials are reachable before you open a session.
Connecting
Select Connect to open an SSH session as a persistent tab in the embedded Terminal. See Trust and saved passwords for LaraEnv 0.5.7's shared host-key verification, password protection and portable-account recovery behavior.
Saved hosts are also reachable from the Command Center. Type ssh:<host> to find one without opening the SSH page first.
Optional host sync
Saved SSH hosts and SSH connections are local features and need no LaraEnv account or plan. If you explicitly enable the optional hosted integration, Cloud sync can synchronize supported hosts across machines with end-to-end encryption, subject to hosted account and service-plan requirements. Cloud integration starts disabled.
