In TinyTERM 4.10 and 4.11, connecting via SSH requires you to save your username and password in the Session Properties. That is a potential security risk. It can be avoided by using this script. It will prompt for a username and password when connecting.

1. You must use the connect button on the ribbon bar when connecting. Auto connect will not work with this script.
2. Save the sshlogin.cs script to the C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM directory.
3. Open TinyTERM and click the Session button on the Ribbon Bar, or from the Edit menu select Session Properties.
4. Select the radio button labeled Post session start and click the Browse button below. Browse to the sshlogin.cs script in the TinyTERM directory.
5. Select OK.
6. On the Login tab, clear the username and password if they are saved there.
7. Save the changes and exit Session Properties.

The next time you open TinyTERM and connect with this configuration, you will be prompted for a username and password.

CR 86, prompt added in TinyTERM Plus 4.12
CR 96, sshlogin.cs fails to connect at times
