SSH configuration: override the default username [closed]

Solution 1:

Create a file called config inside ~/.ssh. Inside the file you can add:

Host *
    User buck

Or add

Host example
    HostName example.net
    User buck

The second example will set a username and is hostname specific, while the first example sets a username only. And when you use the second one you don't need to use ssh example.net; ssh example will be enough.

Solution 2:

If you only want to ssh a few times, such as on a borrowed or shared computer, try:

ssh buck@hostname

ssh -l buck hostname
