Speed Up Making SSH/SFTP/FTP Connections
If you regularly create command-line connections to remote computers, you
can speed up the process by creating bookmarks for the computers within
Terminal.
Creating Bookmarks
This requires Terminal be added to the Dock, so do so by clicking and dragging
it there from the
UTILITIES
folder within the Applications view of Finder. Start
Terminal, right-click its icon, and select New Remote Connection in the menu
that appears.
In the window that appears, select the type of connection you'd like to create
(that is, SSH, SFTP, FTP, or Telnet), click the plus button under the Server
list, and type the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the
remote computer in the dialog box that appears. Then click OK to save the
new bookmark. Then to test it, select it from under the Server heading, and
click Connect to open a new Terminal window that, when it's connected, will
prompt you for your username and password in the usual way (you can speed
up the procedure a little by typing your username into the User field of the
aforementioned dialog box).
Making Connections
The bookmark is now stored. To make the connection in the future, start
Terminal if it's not already running, and then right-click it and again select
New Remote Connection. Then in the window that appears, select the book-
mark you created, and click the Connect button.
Many different server bookmarks can be defined in this way.
