Tabbed SSH Terminals to Remote Systems in Ubuntu
Most Server Administrators need to manage multiple Unix/Linux servers via remote SSH Terminals. Here’s a quick guide on how to set up multiple SSH Server Profiles so that they can be run in a tabbed environment in a standard Ubuntu install.
Step 1: Open a Terminal
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
Step 2: Create a New Profile
On the terminal window tool bar click File -> New Profile
Give this new profile a name like ‘test’ then click the “Create” button.
Step 3: Set Up Profile Settings
Click the “Title and Command” Tab.
Initial Title: type in the name that you want to appear in your SSH tab/ window.
Check the “Run a custom command instead of my shell” check box to on.
Custom Command: Type in the SSH command line to connect to the remote server.
When command exits: Set this Dropdown to “Exit the Terminal”.
Click the “Close” button.
Step 4: Open Up a Tabbed SSH Terminal to a Remote Server Profile
Click File -> Open Tab -> [profile name]
Type in your password and you are good to go!
Step 5: Setting Up Multiple Profiles The Quick Way:
If you are setting up multiple profiles you can select a base profile to use as template in the “New Profile” Popup by selecting a previously created profile in the “Base on” Dropdown.
You can now setup tabs for all of your remote SSH sessions in Ubuntu without installing other programs!
