This is not a linux feature as you seem to claim, you can do this from every operating system I know of, yes, even windows. The file lives in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc.

For my one and only server I set up a passwordless (I know) login with the command “sshs” (ssh server). I just use the server for playing around, so security isnt a biggie.

btw sshs=”ssh -i /path/to/rsync.key user@ip”
