This article also explains 3 minor annoyances of using ssh-copy-id and how to use ssh-copy-id along with ssh-agent. Step 1: Create public and private keys using ssh-key-gen on local-host jsmith@local-host$ [Note: You are on local-host here] jsmith@local-host$ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa): [Enter key] Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Press enter key] Enter same passphrase again: [Pess enter key] Your identification has been saved in /home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 33:b3:fe:af:95:95:18:11:31:d5:de:96:2f:f2:35:f9 jsmith@local-host Step 2: Co...
