Shellvane Italiano

Import

Import (in the Hosts panel header or the command palette) reads hosts from other tools. A preview shows what will be created; existing hosts are not duplicated, and a backup of Shellvane's database is taken first.

Preview

The preview shows the hosts in their folders, nested as in the source tool. Fold a folder with its arrow; its checkbox chooses or leaves out every host below it.

  • User for hosts without one is set on the chosen hosts that have no user (many PuTTY and KiTTY sessions don't); the addresses in the preview show it.
  • Put everything in a new group (on by default, named after the tool) holds the import in one group; turn it off to put the imported folders and hosts at the top level, where folders with the same name as yours are merged.

Sources

  • OpenSSH: ~/.ssh/config with Include, Host patterns, HostName, User, Port, IdentityFile, ProxyJump, ProxyCommand, SetEnv, RemoteCommand, PreferredAuthentications, IdentitiesOnly, LocalForward/RemoteForward/DynamicForward (as tunnels).
  • PuTTY: saved sessions (Windows registry, or the files of PuTTY on Linux).
  • KiTTY: sessions from the registry or the portable Sessions folder, keeping KiTTY's folders as groups (subfolders of a portable Sessions folder too). The folder can also be given as a .zip.
  • MobaXterm: SSH sessions of MobaXterm.ini or a .mxtsessions export, with their folders.
  • SecureCRT: the Sessions folder; subfolders become groups.
  • WinSCP: SFTP and SCP sites of WinSCP.ini (export it from the registry with Tools → Export configuration).
  • FileZilla: SFTP sites of sitemanager.xml, with their folders.
  • Tabby: SSH profiles of config.yaml, with groups and jump hosts.
  • mRemoteNG: SSH connections of confCons.xml, with their folders.
  • Termius: export the hosts as an SSH config file in Termius, then choose that file.

Sessions of other protocols (RDP, VNC, FTP, Telnet, serial…) are listed as not imported; Telnet and serial consoles open from quick connect instead (Connecting). To move hosts between two Shellvane installations, export a group (Hosts) or use sync. Saved passwords are never imported, not even obfuscated ones: save them in the vault at the first login.

Keys referenced by IdentityFile can then be imported in Keys.
