JellyfiSSH FAQ

 

Q: I have Panther but 4.5.1 doesn't run! Help?
Download v4.5 for Panther/Tiger here:
http://www.m-works.co.nz/dmg/JellyfiSSH45.dmg

Q: Will JellyfiSSH ever support ssh/telnet passwords?
Yes. It does from v5.1

Q: I want to specify a key during login - how do I do that?
Simple. First, in your bookmark, remove the login name (normally it woud be root). Next, go to the SSH Options tab and type -i /path_to_key/mykeyname.key into the custom options field.

Q: Whenever I open the Terminal, it tries to connect to a ssh host - what's going on?
Looks like you have clicked "Use settings as default" in the Terminal's window settings. Terminal saves the opening command there too. Go to /Users/[yourname]/Library/Preferences and remove/edit the file called com.apple.Terminal.plist

Q: I've just upgraded to JellyfiSSH from the AppStore and have some issues on launch.
We have seen some rare cases where the Terminal preferences file goes bad causing high CPU usage and a non responsive JellyfiSSH. Quit Terminal and JellyfiSSH then go to /Users/[yourname]/Library/Preferences and remove the file called com.apple.Terminal.plist

Q: I want the ;exit option back please, how do I get it?
With JellyfiSSH 2.1.2 and greater, you can set Terminal closing in the Preferences. BE AWARE that ;exit in the custom strings will break the connection. Sorry.

Q: When JellyfiSSH opens terminal for the first time, I get a rogue window. How do I stop that?
Open Terminal, go to the Preferences, Click on Startup and set the "When Terminal Starts:" to Do Nothing.

Q: I can't add a bookmark, what's wrong?
It is possible you have an older version of JellyfiSSH which had an Add bug. Upgrade to the latest version.

Q: I can't add a bookmark, what's wrong?
All colours in JellyfiSSH are stored as RGB. Make sure your colourspace for your colours is RGB before adding a bookmark.

Q: Are you going to support intel Macs?
Done. Version 4.3 is universal.

Q: I have a good idea, do you want to hear it? Do you care?
Yes, I want to hear it - and I may even care! Feedback and ideas make this a better product for all to use.
