ssh seems really easy to use, because it is. but could it be easier to use? let's find out!
|
||||
|
||||
# making config files
|
||||
when using ssh, you might find yourself rewriting the same command over and over again, you could press the up arrow 100+ times to find the command that you were using the other day, or you could write a config file. your personal ssh config file is stored in ~/.ssh/config.
|
||||
ssh config files have this stucture:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Host my_server
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
Host my_other_server
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
Host * # applied to all connections
|
||||
<keyword> <value>
|
||||
```
|
||||
as with most things, `*` represents a wildcard (i.e. `192.168.0.*` will match everything in the `192.168.0.0/24`) and `?` matches one character from 0-9 (i.e. `192.168.0.?` will match everything from `192.168.0.0` to `192.168.0.9`). you can read more about it in the ssh_config man page (`man ssh_config`). all possible keywords are also listed in the ssh_config man page.
|
||||
|
||||
okay! now, how can we apply this knowledge to something useful? let's have an example.
|
||||
say you're trying to log in to `cark.website` as `giovanni` on port `24`, you would use this command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ ssh giovanni@cark.website -p 24
|
||||
```
|
||||
wow! what a pain to write! luckily we can use the config file to make this much more convenient to write. first, open up `~/.ssh/config` using your favourite editor. now, we'll define a host
|
||||
```
|
||||
Host site
|
||||
```
|
||||
now, let's add some options
|
||||
```
|
||||
HostName cark.website
|
||||
User giovanni
|
||||
Port 24
|
||||
```
|
||||
hopefully, all those options should be fairly easy to understand, you read the manpages, right? `HostName` is the host you want to connect to, `User` is the user you want to log in as and `Port` is the port you want to use.
|
||||
now, we'll be left with this file
|
||||
```
|
||||
Host site
|
||||
HostName cark.website
|
||||
User giovanni
|
||||
Port 24
|
||||
```
|
||||
finally, save it and let's give it a go!
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ssh site
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
as you can see, by using the ssh config file strat, we've saved many precious frames in our ssh session, that we can use to our advantage later on.
|
||||
this is only the tip of the iceberg (well, more like the middle of the iceberg, there aren't *that* many things you can do with you ssh config file), go search up some examples on the internet and enjoy the extra seconds of your life not spent typing in ssh commands.
