make ssh remember host's username

  • 772

I connect to many servers daily. my ssh config default username is "admin"

but servers comes from different environnements and username can changes. sometimes it will be "ec2-user" or "exploitation" or "something-else" ...

Is there a way SSH remember that last connection to 192.0.2.1/server.example.org was with "ec2-user" ?

So I don't have to specify "-l ec2-user" next time.

linux scripting bash ssh

  1. You can set these up yourself in your configuration file $HOME/.ssh/config.

    For example:

    Host *.amazonaws.com
        User ec2-user

Host 192.0.2.1
        User centos
