→Simplified SSH Access
== Simplified SSH Access ==
If you're using OpenSSH (the ssh client used on most Linux systems and other platforms), you can simplify complex ssh command lines by placing host connection details in the file <code>~/.ssh/config</code>:
hostname "ehl.cdot.systems"
user "YourUserID"
Host "xerxes"
hostname "xerxes.cdot.systems"
user "YourUserId"--> Host "aarchie" hostname "aarchie.cdot.systems" user "YourUserID" Host "xerxes" hostname "xerxes.cdot.systems" user "YourUserID"
Once you have added these lines (inserting your user ID where appropriate) and set the permission on that file (<code>chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/config</code>) you can use these commands to access the servers:
ssh aarchie
ssh xerxes
You can similarly configure simplified access in most other SSH client programs.
