Customize your Bash profile on an Ubuntu VPS—edit ~/ bash_profile with
nano ~/.bash_profile
(create if missing) and add exports like export PATH=\"$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin\" for MySQL CLI access Include aliases: alias up='uptime' and alias ftpstart='systemctl start vsftpd' Apply with
source ~/.bash_profile
—test with up expecting uptime output (e g \"5 days\") Add a welcome message:
echo \"Welcome to Ubuntu VPS - $(date)\"
On DigitalOcean this speeds up SSH sessions—ensure UFW allows port 22 (ufw allow 22) to maintain access enhancing CLI efficiency for MySQL and FTP tasks with zero downtime impact
