Online Documentation for SQL Manager for InterBase/Firebird

SSH tunneling

The SSH Tunneling section of the Host Registration Info dialog allows you to enable/disable SSH tunneling for connection to the host and its databases, and set all the necessary SSH tunneling parameters. Note that SSH tunneling is only available when the TCP/IP protocol is used.

Connect through the Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel

Select this option to establish connection to an intermediate SSH server and forward all InterBase/Firebird commands through the secure tunnel.

Specify SSH Host name, SSH port, SSH user name, SSH password, the path to the SSH key file (if necessary) in the corresponding boxes.

See SSH connection properties for details.

Note: InterBase/Firebird host name on the Connection page should be set relatively to the SSH server in this case. For example, if both InterBase/Firebird and SSH servers are located on the same computer, you should specify localhost as Host name instead of the server's external host name or IP address.
