Establishes connection to given host. Use [[session_url|session URL]] or name of the [[session_configuration#site|site]]. To open site, stored in folder, use path syntax “folder/site”. Using session URL is preferred as it makes your script independent on the persisted configuration. Establishes connection to given host.

-Note that to allow the session be opened automatically without interaction, you need to make sure you provide all details, including all credentials. Generally, you need to provide a password in your [[session_url|session URL]] or [[session_configuration#site|site]]. With [[ssh|SSH]] you may alternatively use passphrase-less private key or use [[ui_pageant|Pageant]]. With SSH and [[ftps|FTPS]] you need to [[scripting#hostkey|verify the host or certificate]]. +Note that to allow the session be opened automatically without interaction, you need to make sure you provide all details, including all credentials.
