+ | ===== Saving the SSH configuration ===== | ||
+ | You can't be bothered to type all that everytime you want to connect to our frontends? Understandable. The good news is, you can use an SSH config to make your life easier. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SSH config is a simple text file, which stores per-server-configuration or even global configurations for all SSH connections and is located at: | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | * '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code Example ~/ | ||
+ | host gwdg-login #can be any name you want | ||
+ | hostname login.gwdg.de | ||
+ | user mboden | ||
+ | IdentityFile ~/ | ||
+ | | ||
+ | host hpc-gwdg | ||
+ | hostname gwdu101 | ||
+ | user < | ||
+ | IdentityFile ~/ | ||
+ | ProxyJump gwdg-login | ||
+ | # Older SSH Versions: | ||
+ | # ProxyCommand ssh -i .ssh/id-rsa -W %h:%p gwdg-login | ||
+ | # Windows 10 | ||
+ | # ProxyCommand ssh.exe -i .ssh/id-rsa -W %h:%p gwdg-login</ | ||
