handy ssh, rsync, scp commands

Here are some handy commands for connecting to servers and copying files about. These are all for Linux terminal / bash shell

Do cool things with ssh; log in & run command, find files in dir

# log into server
ssh [email protected] -Y 
# -X      Enables X11 forwarding. <- use this to enable X11 graphical windows, but this will eventually time out & you'll lose the X11 connection
# -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding. <- this one preserves your X11 connection while you're logged in

Keyboard Only OS X

Keyboard-only Mac Cheatsheet

Hi, I'm Lorna and I don't use a mouse. I have had RSI issues since a bad workstation setup at work in 2006. I've tried a number of extra hardware modifications but what works best for me is to use the keyboard and only the keyboard, so I'm in a good position and never reaching for anything else (except my coffee cup!). I rather unwisely took a job which required me to use a mac (I've been a linux user until now and also had the ability to choose my tools carefully) so here is my cheatsheet of the apps, tricks and keyboard shortcuts I'm using, mostly for my own reference. Since keyboard-only use is also great for productivity, you may also find some of these ideas useful, in which case at least something good has come of this :)

Apps List

There's more detail on a few of these apps but here is a quick overview of the tools I've installed and found helpful
