Remote SSH External Tools
Define remote applications that require SSH access as external tools to be able to run them from RubyMine.
You can pass contextual information (like the currently selected file, or your project source path) to the external tools, view the tool output, and more.
The tools defined on this page appear as commands in the Tools menu and in various context menus. They can also be assigned keyboard shortcuts (see the Configuring Keyboards and Mouse Shortcuts section).
Toolbar icons
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
 | Add a definition of an external tool. (The Create Tool dialog will open.) |
 | If an individual tool is selected: delete the tool definition. If a tool group is selected: delete the definitions of all the tools within the selected group. |
 | Edit the definition of the selected tool. (The Edit Tool dialog will open.) |
  | Move the selected tool one line up or down within the group. (The order of tools defines the order of items in corresponding menus.) |
 | Create a copy of the selected definition and then edit that copy. (The Copy Tool dialog will open.) |
Checkboxes
Use the checkboxes to enable or disable the tools and the tool groups. The items that are not currently selected are not available in the Tools and context menus.
