I watched many videos on this topic and this video finally worked for me. Thumb up for sure. However I have to say that I have to play it in half speed to be able to use information or process it. Command line line and Linux is my new hobby now and therefore Im beginner. My question is (rhetoric) what is your audience that this video is intended ? I think it is beginner in SSH so I believe video need to mention which application to use to SSH in first place as foundation of explanation. I hope I do not sound hostile. I mentioning it only to make YouTube better place I guess or hope :-) Thank you for putting it together. Really good stuff.
