# Remote projects and SSH

> Run local and SSH agents through one workspace while keeping the current runtime boundary explicit.

## What it enables

Add an SSH host, browse a remote folder, create a remote project or worktree,
and open provider terminals without learning a separate remote UI. Spaces keeps
local and remote agents in the same live map.

## Connect a host

Open Settings, add an SSH host, and choose the authentication method that fits
your environment: ssh-agent, key file, password, or no explicit credential for
setups such as Tailscale SSH. Test the connection before adding a remote folder.

Remote panes reuse Dure's terminal, image paste, file drop, and reconnection
workflows. Files pasted or dropped into an SSH pane are uploaded before their
remote paths are inserted.

## Current boundary

Remote provider sessions still use the legacy SSH path unless explicitly
provisioned through the current canary workflow. Remote Hmux parity is not the
default, so a dropped SSH connection does not yet carry the managed-local
process-survival contract. The orchestration mailbox and Diff pane are also
local-only today.

See [Current limits](/en/current-limits) for the complete contract and
[Troubleshooting](/en/troubleshooting) for reconnection checks.
