Speed Up Your SSH Sessions with These Seven Quick SSH Config Tricks

[@dleivam]

The last tip was very cool.. I have to connect to several servers with ssh and few of them not use the standard 22 port and I never remember the name of those servers or the specific port.. now I will put them in my config file so I can forget them, thanks.

[@Efim88]

Super useful! Thank you!

[@Laflamablanca969]

Hey Jay what about ssh keys? I was hoping you’d show how to use specific keys for each connection defined in the config file 😔

[@cindrmon]

here's an example: ``` Host server HostName server_ip User username IdentityFile /path/to/ssh/private/key ``` hope that helps

@@cindrmon awesome thanks!!

[@Laflamablanca969]

@@cindrmon You are a legend! Worked perfectly. Very much appreciated :)

[@bahathir_]

Other tools such as 'sftp' and 'scp' also utilize the config file.

I just wish I had watched these videos BEFORE I worked on my last project at work (Linux newbie here). Anyway, I'll be MUCH more useful to the team going forward! Thanks.

[@b7sh_b7sh]

you are an amazing one 😍😍 Thank you a lot

[@gobikrish276]

Thanks Jay it is great way to simplify SSH login

Shinra is for ff7 and skynet is for terminator

[@raul230285]

Cool man, thanks...!!

Also how I get different ssh-keys per connection, and sometimes locally disable the strict key checking also. This video could use a sequal showing ssh-keys and how to use jump-hosts from bastion host to actual target. :D

[@maxwellmuhanda7940]

love your tutorials a lot so direct soo helpful

[@wparsa]

The most useful ssh tuturial I've ever seen. how about dynamic port forwarding for scoks5 connection? how can I add that? thanks

Hi, kindly add a video for (NAT) Natting a Server VM with three other Client VMs in detail.

Thank you jay!

hi sir i have question about . In system [ubuntu 20.04 ] mtu size is 1500 and i am try connect another system by ethernet .connection successfully done the question is mtu size 1500 but ssh packets are above 1500 in wireshark how ? what is happening there ?

[@CarlLovesTopps]

I am curious - can you add a -i /dir/keyfile.ppk to a config in this manner as well to simplify connections?

[@jackfinan9060]

yes, use 'IdentityFile /dir/keyfile.ppk'

[@podunkis]

Nicely done. You provided enough information to get people started. There's plenty of info in the man pages (ssh, ssh_config) that allow additional customization, but your video covers enough to make self-guided learning more productive.

Hey, is Jay a Linode developer? Or what does advocate mean ?

[@pierre-huguesaubertin1654]

Advocate is a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy

Thanks

SSH to connect to remote host: its not asking if you really want to connect to the server... its asking if you want to add the connection to your known_hosts file (then it won't ask you again). There are options to disable the asking (and writing).

[@anjalimesh]

Superb

Shinra - FF7, Skynet - Terminator Franchise Lol nice references

A recently created account with this email address was canceled by our automated systems. This was due to activity or patterns associated with fraudulent behavior. Additional attempts to sign up may also be rejected. Linode Some help why do I get this error

[@oliverjanssen1700]

Acme might refer to the company in the movie roger rabbit?

[@waltsullivan8986]

Please read `man ssh-copy-id ssh-keygen` and avoid having to type passwords. You will need to type a passphrase (as complex as necessary) once per session.

[@Jeremy-W0JRL]

Once you have your hosts defined, you can use Tab completion to save even more typing!

[@theperfguy]

I dont understand who this is targeted to, It might be better to label this video as relevant only to "Linux beginners" I mean a 10 line article would be good enough to explain this. I thought you would discuss in-depth stuff or gotchas in the ~/.ssh/config file. Not trying to sound passive aggressive, but context/labeling would be really appreciated (Beginners/Intermediate/Expert)

i use alias'es in my .bash_profile then all i need to do is type 'tx1' and it connects. here are some others for local network servers. these all i need to do is type in 'st 202' and it will connect the stone user to the .202 box, etc.

[@stoneobscurity]

looks like YT filtered out my commands.
