Linux:: settings shortcuts for your ssh connections to hosts

If you wish you could use friendly names to access your servers, here’s how to do it:

Edit your ~/.ssh/config and add the following:

Host myserver
    HostName 123.123.123.123
    Port 12345
    User bob
Host other_server
    HostName test.something.org
    User alice
    CheckHostIP no
    Cipher blowfish

Please, remember to customize “HostName” and “User” values to your needs. 🙂
