Explore more about the practical uses of SSH, including tunnels, file transfer, and port forwarding, as well as a handful of other tools to utilize and extend SSH.

    Zoom in on the Command Line. Text is too small and I must go full screen to follow along. I like to work split screen taking notes in the other pane. Going full screen to read complicates my workflow.
