ssh: Connect to a remote server using a specific port.
$ ssh ${username}@${remote_host} -p ${2222}
try on your machine

This command is used to establish an SSH (Secure Shell) connection to a remote host.

  • ${username}: This is a variable representing the username or account name on the remote host that you want to connect to. You need to replace ${username} with the actual username you intend to use.

  • @: This symbol separates the username from the remote host.

  • ${remote_host}: This is a variable representing the IP address or domain name of the remote host you want to connect to. You need to replace ${remote_host} with the actual IP address or domain name of the remote host.

  • -p: This flag specifies the Port number to use for the connection.

  • ${2222}: This is a variable representing the port number you want to use for the SSH connection. You need to replace ${2222} with the actual port number you intend to use. It's important to note that in this case, the port number is specified using braces ${} to differentiate it from the other variables.

So, the overall purpose of this command is to initiate an SSH connection to a remote host with a specified username and port number.
