What is an SSH configuration scheme?

Secure Shell configuration information is saved to your Secure Shell configuration file using SSH configuration schemes. When you make a Secure Shell connection, Reflection uses the SSH configuration scheme to determine how the connection is made.

You can create a scheme and use it for multiple connections. If you don’t specify a scheme, Reflection automatically creates a new SSH configuration scheme as soon as you change any of the Secure Shell settings.
