Good to know.
Does Nova SSH require an account?+
No. Personal SSH, SFTP, transfers, and tunnels work locally without signing in. An account is required only for Nova Team.

Which servers can I connect to?+
Nova is designed for Linux servers and automatically reads distribution information when available. Password and private-key authentication are supported.
How are updates delivered?+
Signed installers and update metadata are served separately from the main website at downloads.novassh.space and updates.novassh.space.
