This is an SSH (Secure Shell) command used to establish a secure remote connection with a remote host. Here's a breakdown of the command:
ssh
: The command itself, which initiates an SSH session.-i ${path-to-key_file}
: The-i
option is used to specify the private key file to be used for authentication.${path-to-key_file}
should be replaced with the actual path to the private key file on your local machine.${username}@${remote_host}
: This specifies the username and the address of the remote host you want to connect to.${username}
should be replaced with the actual username on the remote host, and${remote_host}
should be replaced with the domain name or IP address of the remote host.
Overall, this command allows you to securely connect to a remote host using SSH, using the specified private key file for authentication and the provided username and host address.
