on the client, do this ssh-keygen and enter no passphrase. this generates an identity and an identity.pub in /home/username/.ssh/ now copy the identity.pub to the remote machine and put it in /home/username/.ssh/ but rename it to authorized_keys now try to login via ssh and it should just go without a password prompt On Tue, 28 Aug 2001, Timothy R.Butler wrote:
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could advise me on how to accomplish the following, which I know is possible, but haven't had success in doing. I use ssh and scp a lot, so I would like to avoid typing in my password every time I want to copy a file, or type a command on my remote server. I know that I should copy my identity.pub, and put it in ~/.ssh over on the remote server, but what else do I need to do? It seems that isn't enough, as I still have to type my password to login.
Thanks, Tim
