Unfortunately OSX doesn’t use .bashrc per default, but it is easy to enable it. To do it, open up the file /etc/profile with root privileges like this:

sudo nano /etc/profile

And add the following line:

[ -r $HOME/.bashrc ] && source $HOME/.bashrc

As mentioned earlier I am doing a lot of traveling at the moment, which means that I am mostly on a mobile connection.

I needed to download a 100Mb file from my Linux server, and with scp the download would fail.

Instead I am now using this rsync command that would resume if the connection drops:
rsync –partial –progress –rsh=ssh root@rauw.dk:filename.exe filename.exe

Also, if you are using SSH on a slow connection, typing things make lag, you can use this command:

rlwrap -a ssh user@address
