Every time, I do SSH to my Linux box, the default shell comes as: csh, but I want to, use the bash shell automatically from PuTTY. For making bash as the default login shell, first we need to find out, the path of the bash shell, by using:
which bash
If your login shell is csh or tcsh, and you have installed bash in /bin/bash then create a ~/.login file and add the following line:
SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol for connecting two computers securely. It provides secure authentication as well as encryption. If you use Linux, most distros have ssh installed by default.
You can log to a Linux machine using SSH protocol from a putty client by entering the username and password. But if, both the machines are yours only, and no one else uses those machines, it makes a hindrance to enter the username and password, every time you do SSH to that server.
Command Prompt Here: Windows developers are familiar with the tiny utility "Command Prompt Here" which allows them to open the command prompt from the windows explorer, with the working directory set to the current directory selected in the windows explorer.
There are various ways to launch applications and run commands in Linux. Which method is best is a matter of personal taste and individual productivity needs. Here I will discuss some of the best methods available in Linux to do the common quotidian tasks easier and faster.
The basic method of running commands is through the gnome-terminal, i.e. the command prompt in the Windows language. To run gnome-terminal, just press ALT+F2, type "gnome-terminal" and press the enter key.
Ubuntu is a community developed, free and popular Linux distribution for desktops, laptops, and servers, forked from Debian and sponsored by Mark Shuttleworth. The name of the distribution comes from the African concept of ubuntu which may be rendered roughly as "humanity toward others", "we are people because of other people", or "I am who I am because of who we all are", though other meanings have been suggested.
I came from the Windows world and uses cls to clear the terminal screen. So, I wanted to add a global alias for the cls command. To add the alias, you have to make an entry to the .bashrc file in the Home folder.
