    Port
    Enter the port number you have configured SSH to listen on. The default SSH port number is 22. If you are using TCP (deprecated), enter the port number used when Genero Studio Server was started. The default port number is 5321.
    Client IP address
    IP address of the client as viewed by the server. Displays the value of the IP address to be used by the GDC settings when <Automatic> is set.
    Connection type
    SSH (default) or TCP (deprecated).
    Installation directory
    The Genero Studio installation directory on the remote machine; enter the complete path, which will always end with /gst
    User name
    Valid user name. See SSH advanced security.
    User password
    Valid password.
  5. Select Connect to validate the host configuration.
  6. (Optional) Use the Terminal command to open a Genero Workplace Window on the remote host or when launching an application in Text User Interface (TUI) mode. For more information, go to Terminal Command.
  7. Once a valid connection has been made, existing Genero installations, GAS configurations and Environment sets can be imported from the server. Select the Import button. See Import Configuration dialog.
  8. Define synchronization directories or mount points to shared drives.
  9. (Optional) When Use synchronization is enabled, select the Limit number of connections checkbox to reduce the number of connections made to the server. This checkbox embeds file synchronization to and from the server in a tunnel. This tunnel is set up before file synchronization starts. Once file synchronization is complete, the tunnel is closed.
  10. Select OK. Your new remote host will now be listed in the host list in the lower right corner of Genero Studio.
