You can also write a clause for your home machine in your ~/.ssh/config file. For example I have this: Host home cablehome cskk cskk.homeip.net User cameron HostName cskk.homeip.net Then I just ssh to "home". It'll aim at "cskk.homeip.net" and log in as "cameron" regardless of the login name I'm using at the local end. Works with scp etc too: scp filename home: to copy a file to home. Too easy.
