SSH Shortcut
I’m often asked how I SSH into a server by just typing ssh myserver
instead of typing out the whole command and without creating an alias. The answer is a fairly simple, yet often overlooked, configuration file in your .ssh
directory.
Open ~/.ssh/config
or create it if it doesn’t already exist and add the following to it:
Host MyServer
HostName your.server.ip.address
User yourUsername
Compression yes
Ciphers aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr
The Compression
and Ciphers
lines are not required, I just prefer using them. Some servers may give you an error about ciphers not being supported… just remove that line or change the ciphers to ones supported by your server.
