SSH — Secure Remote Access
Core Capability: Secure shell connections, key management, tunneling, and file transfers.
Quick Start
# Connect to server
ssh user@hostname
# Connect with specific key
ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_key user@hostname
# Run remote command
ssh user@host "cd /app && git status"
# Copy file to remote
scp local.txt user@host:/remote/path/
# Sync directory (preferred over scp)
rsync -avzP ./local/ user@host:/remote/THE EXACT PROMPT — Common Workflows
Connect Through Jump Host
# Single jump (bastion)
ssh -J jumphost user@internal-server
# Multiple jumps
ssh -J jump1,jump2 user@internal-serverLocal Port Forward (access remote service locally)
# Access remote:80 via localhost:8080
ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 user@host
# Access db-server:5432 via localhost:5432 through jumphost
ssh -L 5432:db-server:5432 user@jumphostGenerate and Deploy Key
# Generate Ed25519 key (recommended)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "you@example.com"
# Copy public key to server
ssh-copy-id user@hostEssential Commands
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Connect | ssh user@host |
| Connect on port | ssh -p 2222 user@host |
| Connect with key | ssh -i ~/.ssh/key user@host |
| Run remote command | ssh user@host "command" |
| Interactive remote | ssh -t user@host "htop" |
| Copy to remote | scp file.txt user@host:/path/ |
| Copy from remote | scp user@host:/path/file.txt ./ |
| Sync to remote | rsync -avzP ./local/ user@host:/remote/ |
| Local forward | ssh -L local:remote:port user@host |
| Remote forward | ssh -R remote:local:port user@host |
| SOCKS proxy | ssh -D 1080 user@host |
| Jump host | ssh -J bastion user@internal |
| Generate key | ssh-keygen -t ed25519 |
| Copy key to server | ssh-copy-id user@host |
| Debug connection | ssh -vvv user@host |

# Start agent
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
# Add key
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
# Add with macOS keychain
ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
# List loaded keys
ssh-add -lSecurity Tips
- Use Ed25519 keys (faster, more secure than RSA)
- Set
PasswordAuthentication noon servers - Keep keys encrypted with passphrases
- Use
ssh-agentto avoid typing passphrase repeatedly - Restrict key usage with
command=in authorized_keys

### SSH Access
SSH is configured for these servers:
- **Production:** `ssh prod` (via ~/.ssh/config)
- **Staging:** `ssh staging`
Common operations:
\`\`\`bash
ssh prod "cd /app && git status" # Check deploy status
rsync -avzP ./dist/ prod:/app/dist/ # Sync files
ssh -L 5432:localhost:5432 prod # DB tunnel
\`\`\`
Keys: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519` (add with `ssh-add`)References
