SCP Syntax
Sometimes I waste time remembering the command to SCP a new TLS certificate to my server:
scp ./kylerego_net_new.zip -i “C:\path_to_pem_file\file.pem” username@hostname:directory
- scp: secure copy command
- ./kylerego_net_new.zip: local file being SCPed to the server
- -i “C:\path_to_pem_file\file.pem”: private SSH key for authentication, in my case the Azure Portal provides this as a “pem file”
- username@hostname: your user account name on the remote machine and that machine’s IP address or domain name
- directory: destination path on the server to put the file
If ssl is used for directory in the above the file will be put in ~/ssl (directory ssl in the user’s home directory ~).
Apache Ports
If using ports (in my case, opening ports in the Azure Portal network settings to my own IP address and then also editing the Apache virtual hosts configuration) remember to edit ports.conf as well, and check both the <IfModule ssl_module> and <IfModule mod_gnutls.c> blocks
