Transport configuration options

Descriptions of the target options for SSH and WinRM transports.

Option	Transport method	Definition
Target port	SSH and WinRM	The connection port. For SSH, the default is `22`. For WinRM, the default is `5986`, unless `ssl: false`, then the default is `5985`.
Connection time-out in seconds	SSH and WinRM	The length of time you want Puppet Enterprise (PE) to wait for a response when attempting to establish a connection.
Temporary directory	SSH and WinRM	The directory to use when uploading temporary files to the target node.
Run as another user	SSH	After login, this is the user profile to use for running commands.
Sudo password	SSH	The password to use when switching user profiles via `run-as`.
Process request as tty	SSH	Use this if you need to enable text terminal allocation.
Acceptable file extension	WinRM	A list of allowed file extensions for scripts or tasks. Scripts with the specified file extensions rely on the target node's file type associations to run. For example, if Python is installed on the target node, a `.py` script from PE uses `python.exe` to run (unless the file type association was changed on the target node). The extensions `.ps1`, `.rb`, and `.pp` are always allowed and run via hard-coded executables.
