clemson-ssh Documentation
Script to create SSH host aliases for Clemson SoC machines.
This is an UNOFFICIAL script, and is NOT CREATED NOR ENDORSED BY Clemson University or the School of Computing.
Why is this useful
Save your fingers! Instead of typing all of this:
ssh user@host#.computing.clemson.edu
Just use the hostname and number!
ssh host#
Or even better, don’t type the number either. The script will randomly select a host number for you when you generate the configuration.
ssh host
Show me how
It’s easy. Download a copy of the script and run it in one line:
python3 <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BenJetson/clemson-ssh/master/generator.py)
Then just follow the prompts.
