Skill set #1: Understand an ssh command

  • Understanding the syntax of an ssh command
  • -Y option

Skill set #2: Automate connections

  • ssh keys: generate and use
  • ssh config file: what it is and some useful tidbits to put in yours
  • ssh agent

Skill set #3: Easy access to your remote files
