Thanks Ryan, very helpful for those of us taking a look at SSH for the first time.. a guide for some of the more advanced features of SSH / Unix environment would be great.

@Krishna yes it is possible to substitute the server’s domain name in place of the assigned IP address provided you have a domain assigned to the IP through dns records, a for example would be:

#ssh username@domain.com

You can also use the parameter -l

# ssh -l username domain.com

I discovered your blog via Techmeme.com – My terminal fu has gotten very rusty over the last few years. I’m eager to get reacquainted with the command line and look forward to future installments of your “Sys Admin Boot Camp” series.

Question: For SSH, is it also possible to use the machine name instead of the IP (i.e. sharky@MyMac instead of sharky@109.18.108.11)?

Thanks!
