vps-connectBash version
For macOS, Linux, Git Bash, WSL, and Android Termux. One script, one alias.
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mymyanmarland/vps-connect/main/connect-vps.shchmod +x connect-vps.sh./connect-vps.sh --name vps2 --host <VPS-IP>ssh vps2Try the dry run first — it changes nothing: ./connect-vps.sh --dry-run --name vps2 --host <VPS-IP>
1. Put the script on your terminal device.
On a PC, download it and open a terminal in that folder. On Android, use Termux and download it there. This chat app itself is not a terminal.

2. Run it.
./connect-vps.sh --name vps2 --host <VPS-IP> — or just ./connect-vps.sh and answer the two prompts: alias, then IP.3. First time only: type the VPS password in your own terminal, at that prompt.
Characters will not show while you type — that is normal. Never send a password in chat, email, or a screenshot. The script never stores it.

4. Done. Connect any time.
ssh vps2 — for a new VPS, run the script again with a new name and IP. For a new device, run it again on that device.Options
