title: Use built-in SSH in Oracle SQL Developer instead of using PuTTY first
body: <p>I don't have extensive knowledges about Oracle SQL Developer (Version 17.2) and SSH tunnel.  I have been using PuTTY (KiTTY is the software I used) to establish SSH tunnel to connect to the database.  This is the example of how I set up originally with KiTTY.  Also, when I start the session where a command prompt window will pop up, I'll need to enter username and password.  Let's assume the Username is <code>username</code> and the Password is <code>password</code>.  And for the database, the Username is <code>database_username</code> and the Password is <code>database_password</code>.</p>

  <p>I learned that you can use SSH (<code>View &gt; SSH</code>) function directly from Oracle SQL Developer, and I have tried for two days but didn't work.  From the information I have attached in the two pics above, will I be able to use the built-in SSH function or do I have to always use PuTTY?  This is how I set up currently:</p>

  <p>How should I change the built-in SSH setup in order for me to connect to database through SSH?  Will this be possible?  If so, can you show me exactly what I need to enter the information into those fields (please use mine so I can follow each step)?  I just think this process can be simplified within one program.</p>
