The scp
(openssh) command accepts relative paths as host:path/
which are relative to the home directory on the host. I would like to change location of the default directory.
For example, I would like to create a shortcut pseudo-host in .ssh/config
along the lines of
Host bar
hostName foo
## this directive does not actually exist:
DefaultDirectory /home/me/some/path/here
so that I could write
scp some_file bar:baz
instead of
scp some_file foo:some/path/here/baz
Is it possible with openssh?
