Importing ~/.ssh/config and SSH keys into Konsela
How Konsela brings the servers in ~/.ssh/config and their IdentityFile keys into the library, and how the fingerprint is verified on the first connection.
Konsela: SSH client
An orderly way to connect to your servers.
Servers are grouped and tagged, and connected with a single click. The terminal, SFTP file browser and port forwarding are in one place; keys and passwords are stored on this device with the operating system's encryption.

Key features
- Server library
- Servers are grouped, tagged and searched; when importing ~/.ssh/config, IdentityFile keys can be brought in too. Quick connect (Ctrl/⌘ K) connects by name or by user@host.
- Terminal
- Tabbed sessions, 256 colours and clickable links. A dropped connection is re-established automatically; on servers with a tmux session name, you return to the same session.
- SFTP file browser
- Browse folders on the server; files are downloaded, shared, uploaded by dragging, renamed and deleted. Text and log files are viewed and refreshed inside the app.
- Port forwarding
- Local, remote and SOCKS5 tunnels are saved by name and opened or closed with a single tap; if no session is open to the server, it connects in the background.
- Fingerprint verification
- On the first connection the server's fingerprint is shown for confirmation; if it later changes, the connection is stopped and a warning is shown.
- Keys
- ED25519 keys are generated in the app, or keys in OpenSSH, PEM and PuTTY format are imported; the public key and the command to add it to a server are copied with a single click.
Data processing and privacy
Konsela talks only to the servers you connect to; the connection is made directly from the desktop application. Commands, files, passwords and keys are not sent to FigBell; passwords and private keys are stored on this device with the operating system's encryption. Port forwarding listens only on this computer's own address (127.0.0.1).
