I edited my ~/.ssh/config file using Vim by doing
$ vim ~/.ssh/config
Here is my ~/.ssh/config file, me logging into my account using just the alias
I chose with an ssh command, and me copying a file using just the alias I
chose with an scp command.

My ~/.ssh/config file contains what I assume is the alias (ieng6 in my case)
after Host and then HostName and User from the SSH URL
<User>@<Hostname> I had used before.
To log in and copy files, I can use the ssh and scp commands I have used
before, but replace all mentions of cs15lwi22asy@ieng6.ucsd.edu with just
ieng6, my alias.
