How to automatically create a file with code in SSH?

Question

How would I create a file in SSH with code already in it?

Something along the lines of touch filename.php >> echo "thecode here"

??

Also, any SSH tips? Looking to become more efficient.

You know, work smarter not harder.

The best ssh tip is to read the man pages for ssh and ssh_config. — dave4420

echo "some text" > myfile.txt

Will result in a file named myfile.txt with "some text" in it.

If you already have a file on your local machine that you're trying to move to the remote machine, you could use scp.

scp /some/local/file.txt my.server.com:/some/remote/file.txt
