Create quick-access ssh shortcuts

Create quick-access ssh shortcuts: “To quickly open an ssh connection from nearly anywhere on your Mac, do the following:

1. Open TextEdit and type in your connection string in the form of: ssh://user@host.com
2. Select the whole line and drag and drop it on the Desktop. The result will be a *.inetloc file.
3. Move the file to any folder you like. I made one named ~/connections that holds all of my *.inetloc files. You can rename this file to whatever you like, and even change its icon.
4. Now you can drag and drop the *.inetloc file to the Dock, the Finder’s Sidebar or Tool bar, or to anywhere else. (It can even be selected with Spotlight)
5. If you use LaunchBar, open the Launchbar Configuration screen (Command-Y) and add another rule for your connections folder. Now your SSH connections can be opened with LaunchBar. I believe you can do similar with LaunchBar and Quicksilver, enabling quick launching of your SSH shortcuts.
