# Execute one command and exit.
ssh -p PORT USER@SERVER_IP lsSSH in Virtual Machine needs a port forwarding rule in network settings for the VM. Name ssh, host port 3022, guest port 22.
# SSH to local VM via port forwarding.
ssh -p 3022 [email protected]/etc/ssh/ssh_config # system-wide
~/.ssh/config # per user (better)
# Add this in the config.
Host server_name
Port 22

ssh server_nameThis is used to log in without writing the password each time. Also, it is much more secure.
This works by using a private id_rsa and public id_rsa.pub key pair. These keys can be generated by running ssh-keygen, and they are located in ~/.ssh i.e. /home/user/.ssh.
The id_rsa private key stays in the host machine in ~/.ssh. The id_rsa.pub public key goes on the server in a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Simple as that, the next ssh is password-less.
To transfer a public key, use this from ~:
rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 3022' ./.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:~/.ssh/Only trasnfer the files that have changes or are missing. Much faster and secure than FTP.
-a - Recursion and preserve everything.
-v - Transfer log.
-e - Specify remote shell.
# Transfer everything from the current directory to a new folder in the remote home directory.
rsync -av -e 'ssh' . [email protected]:~/folder/
# Transfer folder1 and its content to remote home directory
rsync -av -e 'ssh' ./folder1 [email protected]:~/
# Transfer everything from folder1 without the folder itself to remote folder2 in remote home directory.
rsync -av -e 'ssh' ./folder1/ [email protected]:~/folder2/
# Transfer multiple files and folders.
