+====== SSH and SFTP ======
 The tilix.art SSH server does not run on port 22 like most other tildes. Connecting to tilix.art on port 22 will connect to the host machine that runs tilix.art and helixnebula.cc. Use port **2020** instead. If you are using the commandline **ssh** program, specify your port by using the **-p 2020** argument. For example:

 ssh -p 2020 user@tilix.art
 </code>
+If connecting with another ssh or sftp software, look for an option to set your port to **2020**
 You will be prompted for your password. You can add your public key to **~/.ssh/authorized_keys** to automate login.
+You can make login more convenient by adding an entry for tilix to your **~/.ssh/config**.
+For example:
+<code>
+# log in with just `ssh tilix`
+Host tilix
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key
+    # requires the corresponding public key to be in your authorized_keys on tilix
+    User user
+    Hostname tilix.art
+    Port 2020
+# log in with `ssh tilix.art`
+Host tilix.art
+    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key
+    User user
+    Port 2020
+# see `man ssh_config` for more details
