Session Profiles → Connection Type

This window is used to select and configure the available connection methods. It can be opened via Options menu or by clicking on the leftmost button in the status bar.

 

 

Connection Type

This list defines the standard operation parameters for all connection methods. It also selects the default connection method for this session profile.

However, the selections and settings made here may be ignored later if the connection (e.g. a host directory entry) to which the session profile is assigned overrides them.

For example, if the session profile is assigned to a Host Directory Entry, the entry itself can be set to use a different connection type. This entry can then also be configured to override the session profile's options for that particular connection type (e.g. the session profile may have the keep-alive option disabled for telnet connections, but a host directory entry can override the telnet options to change this behavior for that particular connection, which is initiated by this entry).

In other situations, e.g. when connections are made from the commandline or if the profile is activated through REXX scripts, the settings will be used exactly as they are defined here.

 

Help for the individual methods is available in the Connection Type section of this help text and you will find details and descriptions of the option for the specific types in the following list:
