Be A Command Line Superstar: SSH Basics

ssh is far more powerful than most people who use it on a regular basis realize and it really should be a staple in the diet of any serious software/web developer. I will cover it’s basic usage and then go over some more advanced examples that I have been using for my current work.

If you are already familiar with ssh and just want to learn about ssh tunnels, read the next post in the series about SSH Tunnels

Before going on, I must mention that as far as I know none of this will work in windows. Also, for any of it to work you must have an ssh client installed on your computer (you probably do, but if you dont then check out openssh.org.) Also, the host you are trying to connect to must have an ssh server running and you must have permission to use it.
