Username is not carried over

Too bad you can't get your username carried over to Terminal. The connection is always opened with your Mac OS X short username.

ya wana bet..! :-)

try typing this on you explorer url window...

ssh:// -l<username> <host> -p<port>

[NOTE the spaces between params]

And hey presto... this means ya can open up a secure shell with the username set _AND_ the port..

Cool huh..

Just checking the archives so this response is a tad late =P!

If you include your username on the remote computer in your URI you will get prompted in Terminal for the password on your remote box for the username in the URL.

in other words, you have a remote unix box called scobox.net, and your user name on it is kewldude then this is what you would use:

ssh://kewldude@scobox.net/

Terminal makes the SSH tunnel and you are prompted for kewldude's password.
