Lazy SSH login

In my work i use SSH a lot , and some times i find myself so lazy to enter password every time or write the whole command , so here is a time savior technique

as we know ssh don't accept password to be written it something called "interactive keyboard password authentication" so we need some help , install sshpass

$ sudo aptitude install sshpass

Using sshpass you could send password to ssh example("sshpass -p YOURPASS ssh USER@HOST")

note: this is not secure at all so don't use it for online servers.

Now all what we need is to put it as command-line aliases or shortcut , to do that add these lines to bashrc file

alias Myssh='sshpass -p YOURPASS ssh USER@HOST'

note: to access bashrc file $ nano ~/.bashrc

and now all what you have to do just write Myssh in terminal and you are in
