SSH Profiles

Define an SSH tunnel config once, then reuse it across multiple connections.

Creating a Profile

  1. Open any connection’s SSH Tunnel tab
  2. Click Create New Profile…
  3. Fill in host, port, username, and auth method
  4. Save
Select the profile from the Profile picker in other connections. Changes to a profile apply to all connections using it.
Creating an SSH profile
You can also save an existing inline SSH config as a profile: click Save Current as Profile….

Profiles vs Inline Config

Each connection can use either a shared profile or an inline (one-off) SSH config. Inline configs are stored with the connection and don’t affect other connections. Profiles are stored globally and shared. When to use profiles: multiple connections through the same bastion host. When to use inline: a one-off tunnel specific to a single connection.

Authentication Methods

TablePro supports four SSH auth methods:
MethodDescription
PasswordUsername/password auth. Password stored in Keychain.
Private KeyRSA, Ed25519, or ECDSA key file. Supports passphrase-protected keys.
SSH AgentDelegates auth to a running SSH agent (system agent, 1Password, or custom socket path).
Keyboard-InteractiveServer-driven challenge/response. Used by some PAM and MFA setups.

TOTP Two-Factor Authentication

For servers that require TOTP codes after SSH auth, enable Two-Factor (TOTP) in the profile. Enter the TOTP secret, and TablePro generates and submits the 6-digit code automatically during connection. Configure algorithm (SHA1, SHA256, SHA512), digit count, and time period if your server uses non-default settings.

Multi-Jump Hosts (ProxyJump)

Chain multiple SSH hops to reach a database behind nested bastions. Click Add Jump Host in the profile editor to add intermediate hosts. Each hop authenticates independently (password, key, or agent). The chain executes in order: client connects to jump host 1, then tunnels through to jump host 2, and so on until reaching the final SSH host.

SSH Config File Integration

Toggle Use SSH Config to read settings from ~/.ssh/config. TablePro applies matching Host entries for hostname, port, identity file, proxy settings, and other directives. This works alongside profile settings. Explicit profile values override SSH config values.

Editing and Deleting

Select a profile and click Edit Profile… to modify it. To delete, click Edit Profile… then Delete Profile.

Testing a Profile

Click Test Connection in the profile editor to verify SSH settings without connecting to a database. TablePro performs the SSH handshake, verifies the host key, and authenticates. Green checkmark on success; error dialog on failure.

iCloud Sync

SSH profiles sync across Macs when iCloud Sync is enabled with the SSH Profiles toggle on in Settings > Account. Passwords and key passphrases stay local by default. Turn on Password sync to sync credentials via iCloud Keychain.
