    Cannot set an alias in ssh config file


    I have a raspberry in my network which I control using ssh from my Windows 10 machine. If I use this command from the Windows command line (where clearly pi is the user on the raspberry):

    ssh pi@192.168.1.210

    I am asked for the raspberry's password and everything works fine.

    I would like to simply be able to alias all of this to a shorter command and be able to write, for example:

    ssh rasp

    where rasp is just a placeholder I chose. I searched online and found that I should put in my .ssh folder a file named "config" with the following instructions:

    HOST rasp USER pi HOSTNAME 192.168.1.210 PORT 22

    But when I type ssh rasp I got a message that says that the host refused the connection on port 22. I tried changing the indentation but it didn't change anything, so that shouldn't be a problem.

    So, how do I correctly set an alias for my raspberry?

    EDIT: I've had to tinker A LOT with the permissions on this file, since at first the only message I got was "Bad permission etc", even when using the full command that works without the config file. I don't think it is a permissions problem now, but I figured I should mention this.

    OpenSSH server configuration on Windows10 .ssh\config

    SSH for Windows 10

    I get the message "Bad owner or permissions on C: \\ Users \\ nnn / .ssh / config

    Apart from update no other changes.

    Does anyone have any idea what that could be.
    If I delete the config file I get a connection.
    The Config file is required by Visual Studio Code

    Hosts File Alias not working with File Share


    I can set an alias in the hosts file on a win7 machine and access it just fine but doing the same in Win10 prompts for creds that never work even when entered correctly.
    What did win10 change?

    hosts file entry:
    127.0.0.1 hostname alias

    \\ip - works fine
    \\hostname -works fine
    \\alias - Prompts for creds and creds don't work

    I have gone to the extent of fully disabling UAC from reg, same outcome. Network and file sharing is set to password access and not homegroup. Simple file sharing is off.

    Something to note. I always disable ipv6 form the adapter but when I ping my hostname it shows the ipv6 loopback. Why is that?
    When I ping the alias it returns 127.0.0.1 ipv4 loopback that was entered in the hostname.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for using my Utility buddy. Now to your questions. *Toast :toast:

    • Both of those settings are in the config file by default. I can't confirm, but I believe aim assist works only in single player and only with a gamepad. Deadzone works with joysticks and gamepads.
    • Console anti alias is the game menu. Turning it off will improve performance.
    • Yes, transparent shadows are on by default.
