Execution management

What is the URL syntax understood by this plug-in ?

The URL must be:

ssh://<HOSTNAME>[:<PORT>]/
Where:
    <HOSTNAME> is the name of the host running the SSH daemon,
    <PORT> is 22 by default.

What encoding is used for remote filenames ?

The plug-in does not explicitly set any filename encoding, so the default on the server is used. If you want to force a particular encoding for filenames, please use the "FilenameEncoding" parameter.
