When you connect to a server over SSH, an SSH server will establish a connection to the VNC or RDP server instead of you and transmit all remote screen data to the Remotix through a secured SSH channel.
To establish an SSH connection, you have to provide SSH credentials in addition to the VNC or RDP login information.
Remotix supports two types of SSH authentication:
The public key authentication is more secure and is a good protection against man-in-the-middle attacks. This also comes useful when you have several servers since it allows you to authenticate on all servers via the same personal private key. To use public key authentication in Remotix, choose the public key authentication type in connection settings and specify a private key’s location.
