How to set Shuttle.app up as a convenient tool for connecting to a remote server with a single click from the menu bar.

Install Homebrew (http://brew.sh/) by opening a new terminal window and pasting in:

  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

Follow the prompts. After installation is complete install the 'sshpass' formula:

  brew install https://raw.github.com/eugeneoden/homebrew/eca9de1/Library/Formula/sshpass.rb

Now install Shuttle (http://fitztrev.github.io/shuttle/) and add a host in config as follows:

  sshpass -p yourpassword ssh username@domain.com -t 'cd /path/to/site/; bash --login

That's it, job done! :)
