# influx remote

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

Configure InfluxDB Edge Data Replication remotes and replication streams to replicate data from InfluxDB OSS to remote buckets on InfluxDB Cloud, InfluxDB Enterprise, or another InfluxDB OSS instance. Currently, you cannot configure remotes and replication streams on InfluxDB Cloud.

Use the `influx remote` command to manage connections to remote instances of InfluxDB. Remote connections are used to replicate data on write at the bucket level.
