Stored Sessions
Although you can configure a session manually every time you connect, more convenient is to store your frequently used session configurations into a stored session list.
To store session configuration use Save button on the Login dialog.
You will find stored sessions useful also for scripting to configure session settings that cannot be configured using scripting commands directly.
System administrators can create stored session that cannot be modified nor deleted.
Password Storing
You can store a password as part of the stored session. However this is not recommended, unless you protect them by master password. Read more about security when storing passwords.
Also note that you need to request storing your password explicitly on Save session as dialog.
System administrators can restrict password storing altogether.
Default Session Configuration
New session configurations (both in GUI and scripting) start with default configuration. Particularly with default SFTP protocol. The built-in defaults can be changed using Set defaults button on Stored Sessions tab of Login dialog.
