ssh / config

Host tilde
  Hostname tilde.town
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/al3x_tilde_rsa
  user al3x
  TCPKeepAlive yes

Then you can ssh to tilde.town using:

ssh tilde

instead of:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/al3x_tilde_rsa al3x@tilde.town

SSHFS

Next we mount our tilde home directory in our local home directory:

sudo apt install sshfs

(for Windows and Mac, see her)

Next:

sshfs tilde: ~/tilde

This makes it possible to use your local setup, copy files and images etc. Nice!
