@silverwizard @linuxfiend Because I am frankly brand-new to ssh... at least in this sense. The Solarwinds software I used professionally did everything in the background for me, so all I had to do was click to open the command line or click to establish a full remote connection. This aspect of it is very much foreign to me, but I'm learning! :)
I dislike networking as a rule, both socially and with computers. I much prefer being able to hear, see, and feel the machine I'm working on. *shrug*
