From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If this is something you run into often, it's likely still only for a limited number of servers?
sshandscpboth respect.ssh/config, and I suspect (but haven't tested) thatsftpdoes too. If you add something like this to that file:then SSH connections to hosts named in that first line will use port 8080 by default and you can leave off the
-p/-Pwhen contacting those hosts. You can add multiple such sections if you have other hosts that require different ports, of course.
