Create a handy shortcut for logging in so you don't have to type as much

These are the instructions from a page online or just google "ssh shortcut".

In brief, for my Apple laptop, i do this:

Open a terminal (on my own laptop, no logging into the acf or anything)

Then type:

cd ~/.ssh

Create a file called config

nano config

Put this in the file:

Host acf
    HostName duo.acf.tennessee.edu
    User yourusername

Change the permissions of the config file

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config

Now you should be able to log in by typing

ssh acf

Yea!
