How to SSH into server without typing the full command¶

1. open your console profile¶

eg im using Zsh

nano ~/.zshrc

If you are using bash try:

nano ~/.bashrc

2. Add the ssh command¶

alias sshto='expect -c '\''spawn ssh dev@domain.ke; expect "password:"; send "oaosasa\r"; interact'\'

here we are are creating an alias for the command sshto which means each time you type sshto the terminal will automatically ssh into the addre you provided.

3. Reload bash profile¶

source ~/.zshrc    # For Zsh 

source ~/.bashrc   # For Bash

Note:¶

The above process is best used only in local testing environments. THIS WILL EXPOSE YOUR CREDENTIALS

Alternatively you can use ssh keys for more secure automation
