Hi @MetraneAbdelmounim,

for the remote shell plugins the user that runs Galaxy needs to be able to do keyless SSH logins without any further confirmations. Is that the case ? You may also need to indicate the path to your private key with <param id="shell_private_key">/path/to/private/key</param>. Finally I’d suggest using the ParamikoShell plugin instead of the SecureShell plugin, it has better error handling and supports keeping connections open.
