Core Lessons

1. Understanding how to SSH into a specific port with a specific username at a desired target is a core skill.
   • ssh = the command to activate ssh
   • -p = the flag to specify the port
   • ### = the port number
   • username = what your username at the host
   • @ - to indicate the break between the username and the host name
   • host name = where you want to log in
2. I’ve read that using SSH keys are much more secure than passwords. I’ll need to do some additional reading about how to set those up in the future.
