Stupid SSH Tricks

Main Parts

slogin hostname
      [-l username] [-v] [-x] [other options]

-v verbose mode
-x don't tunnel X connection
-l username different username on remote host


      ssh hostname
      [-l username] [-v]
      command [args]

One-off command; falls back to slogin if no command given. Most options work with ssh as with slogin. Command can be quoted (' or ")

scp file.ext [username@]hostname:[path/file]
Several points to note:
1. files can be local or remote (one or both);
2. Second argument can be a directory; if so, first filename is preserved;
3. Multiple files can be specified; if so, last argument must be a directory.
