+# Working Directory for SSHPiper
+
+`Working Dir` is a `/home`-like directory. 
+SSHPiperd read files from `workingdir/[username]/` to know upstream's configuration.
+
+e.g.
+
+```
+workingdir tree
+
+.
+├── github
+│   └── sshpiper_upstream
+└── linode
+    └── sshpiper_upstream
+```
+
+when `ssh sshpiper_host -l github`, 
+sshpiper reads `workingdir/github/sshpiper_upstream` and the connect to the upstream. 
+
