This article introduces the knowledge of "how to log in to a specific directory on Linux by SSH". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

SSH logs in to a specific directory of the remote system

Before I know this method, I usually log in to the remote system first using the following command SSH:

$ssh user@remote-system

Then enter a directory with the following cd:

$cd

However, you do not need to use two separate commands. You can combine and simplify the task with one command.

Look at the following example.

$ssh-t sk@192.168.225.22'cd / home/sk/ostechnix; bash'

The above command connects to the remote system (192.168.225.22) via SSH and immediately enters the directory called / home/sk/ostechnix/ and stays at the prompt.

Here, the-t flag is used to force the allocation of pseudo terminals, which is a necessary interactive shell.

The following is the output of the above command:

You can also use this command:

$ssh-t sk@192.168.225.22'cd / home/sk/ostechnix; exec bash'

Or

$ssh-t sk@192.168.225.22'cd / home/sk/ostechnix & & exec bash-l'

Here, the-l flag sets bash to login shell.

In the above example, I used bash in the latter parameter. It is the default shell on my remote system. If you do not know the shell type on the remote system, use the following command:

$ssh-t sk@192.168.225.22'cd / home/sk/ostechnix & & exec $SHELL'

As I've already said, it's not just about connecting to a remote system and cd going into the directory. You can also use this technique to run other commands. For example, the following command enters / home/sk/ostechnix/, and executes the command uname-a.

$ssh-t sk@192.168.225.22'cd / home/sk/ostechnix & & uname-a & & exec $SHELL'

Alternatively, you can add the commands you want to execute after logging in to SSH in the .bash _ profile file on the remote system.

Edit the .bash _ profile file:

$nano ~ / .bash_profile

One line for each command. In my example, I added the following line:

Cd / home/sk/ostechnix > & / dev/null

Save and close the file. Run the following command to update the changes.

$source ~ / .bash_profile

Note that you should add this line to the .bash _ profile or .bashrc file on the remote system, not on the local system. From now on, whenever you log in (whether via SSH or directly), the cd command will be executed and you will automatically enter the / home/sk/ostechnix/ directory.
