Jay, I truly appreciate these little tidbits of advice. They're great for new and novice Linux users. I've found that as I've gotten more comfortable with the command line, I notice that I've also formed some poor habits. These sorts of tips are a good reminder that almost everything has a better way to do it.
I'm watching this for the second time. And now I understand what this config file is used for. Thank you Jay. And this Ubuntu book of yours is so very, very good.
7 years a linux user and i never knew about this - i wrote ssh scripts to simply, don't judge lol. Tested with scp and ssh-copy-id. perfect! Look forward to reading your book that i got for my birthday :)
Dude you are not only THE BEST linux learning source I have found, but you are a huge RPG fan clearly ,and I would love to speak with you one day! we have a ton in common! Thanks for what you do!
Love it! I already create my config file in my laptop to access my mpg in my home easier. Do you know if there is an option for tunneling port automatically with this commands? (-L port:localhost:port)
I love your videos as they are more in deep and more knowledgeable than anywhere. I have watched mostly all OPENssh videos... I am going to set up jumpbox VM in proxmox. How do we move ssh key so I can use in other PC if I ever destroy that VM or change pc all together? How do we back up ssh key?
I find that uppercase U and P for user and port is not required, at least in Ubuntu. I've always used lowercase without a problem. I just checked Host and Hostname and it's the same. Also, I use some end of life equipment that require the use of obsolete protocols that you will cover next. Very useful information, here.
👍👍👍👍👍Dear Jay, THANK YOU! Awesome! Use "server*" to match server1... how abt those different ip addresses? Perhaps we get to see them in the follow-up video.
Just tumbled on this video and was excited to try it. Unfortunately, the 'config' file didn't work for me. I tried Arch Linux, Ubuntu, and Windows. None of them recognized any entries I added to $HOME/.ssh/config.
Hi, am I correct in thinking that IdentityFile should point to your private key? Does this need to be an absolute path or is relative fine? I ask because my desktop doesn't seem to use the key when I use the alias. Help is appreciated.
Ya man. This does not work. Details are missing. Refuses connections have server install on one vm and client on another. Use syntax and conventions. Connection does not work at all. Docs on web detail same procedure but still fails to connect. What important details are you and all other resources omitting?
And what about the SSH connections to Github or other places? The known_hosts is filled with hashes and there's no way to recognize them (If I need to remove some connections from there).
@Terminalforlife (LL) That's what I meant. When I set up keys for the Github / Gitlab -connection, the corresponding host is added to known_hosts, but since it is hashed, I cannot recognize it from all the other hashed hosts. I know the hashes are an intended security feature, but it makes maintaining the known_hosts more difficult since I can't clearly see what hosts I have there. I have an old Linux installation on a laptop that I used for some dev stuff and there's no way I can remember all those hosts.
