I want to use an alias for a hostname I log into often. But, I can't edit the hosts file b/c it's not my machine and I don't have root. I can't seem to find the answer on the web, but I'm sure it must be possible.
What can I do?
How do I add entries to a Linux hosts file when I don't have root? "hosts" file if I do not have root access?
if you log in to that computer using console, you could just create a short shell script in your home directory. You could name the script with a short name, like 'sshme'
The sshme file would contain these two lines:
#!/bin/bash
ssh myaccount@longhostnamethatyouhatetyping
After you save it, be sure to do:
chmod +x sshme
Then you can execute it by typing
./sshme
