SSH & Remote Access Cheat Sheet (Printable PDF)

The sheet for the machine you only ever see through a terminal.

Use it when: key auth suddenly stops working and you're about to widen permissions until it does. When you need to reach a service that only listens on localhost. When you're tired of typing the same host, port and user every time.

On the sheet: key generation and key-based login, the ~/.ssh/config entries that make long commands short, local and remote port forwarding, jump hosts, file transfer with scp and rsync, and the permission requirements that cause most "it just won't take my key" failures.

Not on it: full server hardening. This is the access layer, not a security audit.

Format: 3-page US Letter PDF, dark terminal theme, print-ready. Instant download, no account needed.
