Set up a connection

Name, Host, Port, Username. Save turns on the moment Name and Host both have text — everything else has a working default.

A password, a key you generate on the phone, or a PEM you paste. The secret goes to the iOS Keychain; the connection record only holds a reference to it.

The first handshake stops and shows the host key with the ssh-keygen line to compare it against. Trust, or Cancel.
