SSH config file paragraph to open a specific directory on remote server [closed]

Answer 1

Take a look at https://serverfault.com/questions/167416/change-directory-automatically-on-ssh-login

This is the accepted answer:

LocalCommand isn't what you want, anyway. That's run on your machine. You want RemoteCommand. Something like this worked for me:

  Host example.net
  RemoteCommand cd / && exec bash --login
  RequestTTY yes

(Old answer) For a similar use case, ssh -t is also an option:

ssh server -t "cd /my/remote/directory; bash --login"

It is not the same, as it does not use ssh config. But you can define an alias for the command and end up with a similar effect.
