SSH configuration settings
Item | Description |
---|---|
Visible only for this project | Restrict this SSH configuration to the current project. The configuration will not be available in other projects. WebStorm stores such configurations in the project's .idea directory, which you can share between team members in a VCS. By default, this option is disabled and WebStorm stores the SHH configuration in the IDE configuration directory. In this case, you can use this configuration in any project when working from the current instance of WebStorm. |
Host | Specify the hostname of the server to connect to. The default value is localhost . |
User name | Specify the username for authentication to the server. |
Port | Specify the remote port number to connect to. The default value is 22 (the standard TCP port for SSH). |
Local port | Specify the local port number from which you want to forward the connection. There is no default value, which means WebStorm dynamically selects the port number. |

|
Test Connection | Try to connect with the current SSH configuration settings. |
