Covers the SSH patterns you actually use: connecting to servers, managing keys, port forwarding, and file transfers with both scp and rsync. The config file examples are solid, especially for jump hosts and connection multiplexing which can save you a lot of typing if you're bouncing between servers regularly. Good coverage of the -L and -R tunnel flags, which I always have to look up. The security tips at the end are brief but sensible, like switching to Ed25519 keys and disabling password auth. It's comprehensive without being a man page replacement. If you work with remote servers even occasionally, this gives you the commands you need without having to dig through documentation.

Files

SSH — Secure Remote Access

Core Capability: Secure shell connections, key management, tunneling, and file transfers.


Quick Start

# Connect to server
ssh user@hostname

# Connect with specific key
ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_key user@hostname

# Run remote command
ssh user@host "cd /app && git status"

# Copy file to remote
scp local.txt user@host:/remote/path/

# Sync directory (preferred over scp)
rsync -avzP ./local/ user@host:/remote/

THE EXACT PROMPT — Common Workflows

Connect Through Jump Host

# Single jump (bastion)
ssh -J jumphost user@internal-server

# Multiple jumps
ssh -J jump1,jump2 user@internal-server

Local Port Forward (access remote service locally)

# Access remote:80 via localhost:8080
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 user@host

# Access db-server:5432 via localhost:5432 through jumphost
ssh -L 5432:db-server:5432 user@jumphost

Generate and Deploy Key

# Generate Ed25519 key (recommended)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com"

# Copy public key to server
ssh-copy-id user@host
