Creating an alias for your QMI

As a shortcut to connecting to your QMI, you can create an alias so that you can simply type ssh forest@<YOUR_CUSTOM_ALIAS> instead of remembering to copy the IP address of your QMI each time. 

On your local machine:

sudo vim /etc/hosts

 
Next, add the following line:

<YOUR_CUSTOM_ALIAS> <YOUR_QMI_IP_ADDRESS>
