Just in general, look up .ssh/config and configure it.
A lot of software uses ssh to do various things. You can pull a lot of neat tricks with SSH config coming in through a bastion on a non-standard port to a host machine into a shell executed in a docker container with the right .ssh/config, aliased to "machine", and the you can use anything that can run on SSH to "machine" with all that fancy configuration. Check your favorite editor; good odds it can edit files through that mess, or give you a remote directory explorer, or whatever.
