    Commands

Remote => Server/GPU Computer
Client => You/Dumb Computer
SSH and tunnel a port

This allows you to later run jupyterlab at 8080 on remote pc and its tunneled so u can view stuff
in client.
ssh -p <PORT> <REMOTE_USER>@<REMOTE_IP> -L 8080:localhost:8080

The only way this will work if your public key is actually present on ssh server so you have to
remember to set that up, its usally first time only as:
ssh-keygen -t rsa

and you usually keep path and filename as default, only add password if u have to but then
keep it safe.
The cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub command can be used to get your public key out for storing on remote server
or vastai account settings
Transfer a large file from local->remote using ssh protocol

The first command shuld work, if not present the private ssh key to the server and it should accept
it. Also -v flag is useful for debugging
# <REMOTE_DEST_DIR> == /root/
# may add -i ..\.ssh\id_rsa after -v, not necessary
scp -v  -P <PORT> <LOCAL_FILE> root@<REMOTE_IP>:<REMOTE_DEST_DIR>

Run Jupterlab on Server

This command assumes you linked 8080 initially
pip install jupyterlab
jupyter lab --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=8080 --allow-root


Now run the link provided in your client's browser and it should work!
