Secure Shell (SSH) connector

Secure Shell (SSH) connector helps establish an SSH connection to a remote server and execute commands.

In the UNIX environment, SSH is the preferred way to access remote systems. In an automation workflow, when you need to connect to a remote system and perform an operation, you can use SSH connector methods to accomplish the task efficiently.

The SSH connector is available as a plugin by default in RPA Desktop Design Studio from 12.0.X versions. Add the SSH plugin from the Plugins Manager. For more information about adding the SSH plugin, see Manage plugins in RPA Desktop Design Studio.
