You can securely send HL7 messages using the HL7Spy Send tool over SSH. SSH stands for Secure SHell and it uses public-key/private key encrypted communications to prevent eaves dropping eavesdropping on the network traffic between HL7Spy and the HL7 Server receiving the messages.

The image below shows an example of configuring HL7Spy to communicate with an HL7 Server (mirth31.conevity.com) on port 11005 through the SSH Server (ssh.conevity.com). Note that in the Connection tab of the HL7 Destination configuration we are specifying the network Port port of the HL7 Server and that we have left the Host to be localhost. This is because the SSH server is taking care of routing communications going to port 11005, to the server mirth31.conevity.com. Depending on how your SSH Server is configured, you may need to set the Host to the address of the HL7 Server (in this case mirth31.conevity.com).
