SSH keys
~/.ssh/identity and ~/.ssh/identity.pub DSA key (old) ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub RSA key
Basic key setup:
ssh-keygen -t rsa ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]remote default identity_file is ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_example.org
~/.ssh/config
Host example.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_example.org
SCP
- scp -P [port] file.txt user@remotehose:~/file.txt
When scp on remote is initiated, it done so with -t flag, which is undocumented but might be required for precise command persmission configuration.
SSHFS
Rsync
- rsync is a software application and network protocol for Unix-like systems with ports to Windows that synchronizes files and directories from one location to another while minimizing data transfer by using delta encoding when appropriate. Quoting the official website: "rsync is a file transfer program for Unix systems. rsync uses the 'rsync algorithm' which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync." An important feature of rsync not found in most similar programs/protocols is that the mirroring takes place with only one transmission in each direction. rsync can copy or display directory contents and copy files, optionally using compression and recursion.
