The Sessions dialog box allows you to create and manage sessions. By default the dialog box opens automatically when Xshell starts. You can also open it by clicking Open on the File menu.

A session contains properties information of a connection to a remote computer. By creating sessions, you can save your efforts to enter the remote hostname and other required information when connecting to a known computer.

The toolbar contains a number of buttons to manage sessions.

Button	Name	Description
	New	Opens the New Session Properties dialog box.
	Save As	Copies the selected session as a new name.
	Cut	Cuts the selected session and copy it to the clipboard.
	Copy	Copies the selected session to the clipboard.
	Paste	Saves the session copied to the clipboard in the current folder. If you cut the session, the original session is saved unchanged. If you copied the session, a copy of the original session is saved.
	Delete	Deletes the selected session.
