SSH Aliases

Step 1: set up SSH keys

SSH aliases don't allow you to use a password. It might be possible to use a utility like sshpass though.

1. Generate an SSH key pair using ssh-keygen.
2. Copy the public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server.

Test if the key words by logging in using the key: ssh -i ~/.ssh/private_key user@host

Step 2: create an SSH alias

Add an alias to the ~/.ssh/config file in the following format:

Host alias
    User username
    HostName remote-ip-or-hostname
    Port 23
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key

It should be possible to log into the remote server using the alias: ssh alias.
