# Host Name

The host name is the name of the machine where you want to install SLM.

If you run a local installation, this dialog box is read-only.

The dialog box shows this information:

- Host Name: The name of the local machine.
- Login Name: The user who runs the installation.

If you run a remote installation, you must specify this information:

- Host Name: The name of the remote machine.
- Login Name: User name to login at the remote machine.
- Password: Password of that user.

The user that you specify here must have write access for the directory where SLM is installed.

- Use SFTP and SSH-2 for connecting to host

  When the ‘Use secure ftp and rexec for connecting to host’ checkbox is selected, the installer uses sftp/ssh instead of ftp/rexec. The destination system must be configured for these protocols, otherwise the connection will fail. If non-secure connects are being used, the remote system must be enabled for ftp/rexec connections. It is recommended to use secure connections

  Secure ftp is implemented by means of the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) over SSH protocol version 2 (SSH-2). Secure rexec is also implemented by means of SSH-2.
