Using SSH profiles can help you in cases where you regularly connect to various servers (especially if you’ve added custom SSH ports to the mix too). No need to remember the IP address and other such details for SSH connection.

So once you’ve configured this config file in ~/.ssh all you need to login is something like ‘ssh webserver’ or ‘ssh omv-server’. It won’t remember passwords, but if you have set up public key access, you won’t need any password to login.

This is on my todo list now as I have two servers and two Raspberry Pi’s that I log into quite regularly, and every time it is a check for the IP address, correct user name, password, etc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
