It would be very helpful to have a checkbox option to enable ssh access into the plugin jails.

Thanks for the info.

You are right that it's simple. I copied the steps you took and am listing them here for future reference.

passwd
pkg install nano
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin Yes
Password Authentication Yes
Save and Exit Nano
sysrc sshd_enable=yes
service sshd start

A more secure way (without logging in as root) is also available in the "Accessing a Jail Using SSH Instead of its Shell Icon" section of the User Guide.

My request isn't asking how to do it, it's to make it easier. Ctrl-key combos don't work (apparently only Chrome) accessing the GUI Shell console. Which makes it difficult to edit the config files.

Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of the feature request section of the forum. I thought it was a place to list requested improvements.

I really appreciate the help. I truly do, but the point here is that there are a lot of hoops and I was suggesting that an easier way would be nice.

No problem. I just updated the description for the sub-forum to make it clearer.
