I have just imported all my connections from Putty, and gone through and reconfigured them as "SSH Shell (Rebex)". I even changed the icon to match. But in the Overview window, it still says 'putty'. Is there a way to change this?

Hello,

SSH Shell (Rebex) and Putty will display the same icon in RDM.

See screenshot. I opened the properties and changed the type from 'Putty' to 'SSH Shell' and clicked OK. However when I re-open the properties it still says 'putty', although the drop down says SSH Shell.
In the Overview window (also in screenshot) it still says Putty underneath the server name.

Hello,

SSH Shell (Rebex) and Putty are almost the same type of session. I would recommend using our SSH Shell Session type instead
https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/sessions_sshshell.htm

To change the current putty session into the format proposed above, select your Putty session and do a right-click -> Edit -> Edit (Special Actions).
In that area, select Convert Putty/Rebex session


Then, you will see SSH Shell in the Dashboard.

If the session works fine, you can do the same process on all of them at the same time to convert this into SSH Shell sessions.

OK cheers. Do I need to enable the Special Actions sub Menu? When I right click I just get "edit Entry", "Create Shortcut" and "rename".

I have installed the Free version, 4.6.0.0 64 bit in case that makes a difference?

Hello,

The Edit (Special Actions) menu is only available in the Enterprise Edition of RDM, this is why you are not seeing it.

Sorry about that, I had in mind that you we're on the Enterprise version.
