If you don't have the ~/.ssh/config file, you can create one yourself and then fill it with the content you need.

You can refer to the video around 0:51

This file is just for simplification. In fact, you can also use:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/my_privK -R 443:localhost:80 [email protected] http

to replace it, which works as well.

However, if you have the ~/.ssh/config file, it can look like this:

Host MyTest
    HostName connect.ngrok-agent.com
    User v2
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/

Then the command can be written as:

ssh -R 443:localhost:80 MyTest http

Here, MyTest will be matched with the entry in your ~/.ssh/config file where the Host name is MyTest. From there, it fetches the corresponding User and HostName (in this case, v2 and connect.ngrok-agent.com).

The -i option is omitted in this case, as it refers to the IdentityFile.

config

Host MyTest
    HostName connect.ngrok-agent.com
    User v2
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/my_privK

Hello, I am the one who commented on your youtube video just now. thank you for providing a notes. the config file doesn't have file extensions right?
