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.
