Mac’s New Remote Connection
Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard the default behaviour of Mac’s New Remote Connection is no longer SSH (Automatic) it is SSH Protocol 1, which is absolutely ridiculous. Having the default behaviour of New Remote Connections as anything but SSH Protocol 2 makes no sense at all.
In order to circumvent this behaviour, simply modify your saved server connections and append “-2″ at the end of each entry.
New Remote Connection will automatically add a “-1″ at the beginning of your connection command, but luckily the second SSH Protocol parameter “-2″ takes precedence over the first.
Old connection:
username@server.com
Resulting in:
ssh -1 username@server.com
New connection:
username@server.com -2
Resulting in:
ssh -1 username@server.com -2
With the change in place to each entry, your saved connections will all now default to SSH Protocol 2.
