Technology, Open Source and Shiny Things

I think that ssh is probably the most awesome thing that I have ever used on a computer. Not only does it allow you to be on another computer remotely, but if you configure it correctly it will allow you to login more securely than with a standard password. And once a computer has exchanged keys with the server you can login without a password securely. Awesome. One tool I found while learning is ssh-copy-id to get your key up to the server. One thing that wasn’t really explained well was scp, which allows you to copy over ssh.
