Welcome to Altoplace. This is my place for sharing my technology and life interests as I learn how to create websites. This is a hobby for me, but I do hope that you find useful information. I like saving “notes” about what I have learned. Then I can refer back to them as needed.

My site is powered by Hugo , the Zen theme , and Pair Networks .

As I inferred above, I am learning how to develop websites. Thus, the look and feel of this website will change over time, but I am trying to maintain (and grow) the content. For now, this is just a “retirement” hobby for me.

I am going to show you show you how I use SSH to log into a Linux server from macOS. I am going to use my Pair Networks shared host as an example. I like having shell access to my web host, which is one of the great features that Pair offers. In addition to SSH, you can also use scp to transfer files. Once you have set up SSH, scp should work automatically if you so desire to use it. By setup, I mean being able to log in to the server without having to enter a password every time.
