Data Migration

Purpose

Import server connection settings from other SSH tools or export the list as OpenSSH configuration.

Entry

Open Settings → Migration.

Steps

1. Select a source file or folder from Xshell, MobaXterm, or OpenSSH.
2. Preview the parsed names, hosts, ports, and usernames.
3. Choose append or overwrite and confirm the import.
4. Add authentication details again for the imported servers.

Know Before You Use It

Passwords and private keys are not read from the source tool; configure credentials again in MyShell Terminal. File format and source-tool version can affect parsing.

Failure Handling and Safety

If the preview is empty or incorrect, check the source, format, and read permissions instead of overwriting the current list. Restrict access to configuration files containing server addresses and verify their source.
