SSH Advanced Usage Guide

This document summarizes a few public-safe SSH usage tips that are helpful after the initial connection is already working.

Keeping Long Tasks Manageable

• If your network connection drops, the current terminal session may end.
• For long-running work, it helps to use a terminal workflow that makes reconnection and recovery easier.
• Save outputs regularly and keep logs where possible.

Separate File Transfer from Terminal Work

• Use the SFTP file transfer guide when you need to upload or download files.
• Keeping file transfer and terminal work separate reduces confusion and makes troubleshooting easier.

Improving Connection Stability

• If your session disconnects frequently, check network stability and whether the required port is reachable.
• Always use the latest connection details shown in the dashboard.
• On shared or public networks, close your session cleanly when you finish.

Basic Security Habits

• Keep your security key only on devices and directories you control.
• Do not leave raw connection commands or key files in chat tools, public repositories, or published docs.
• Keep important data backed up outside the container.
