Introduction
This guide explains how to create custom static configuration for SSH client on a Linux machine. Instead of using command line options from the terminal a custom configuration file can be created.
HOW TO
The file /etc/ssh/ssh_config contains commented out options for an SSH client. These can be used as an example for a custom ssh config. Go into the subdirectory /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/ and create a new file. In this file specify the ip address/hostnames for this configuration to apply to. Under this include all configuration options.
Example
/etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/example.conf
Host *.solinno.co.uk
- IdentityFile ~/.ssh/pinky_solinno
- Port 2251
