Setting up OpenSSH public key authentication

August 31, 2009, 9:35 am

First upload your public key to the server you want to log in:

scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@1.2.3.4:/home/user

On the server, add the public key file to the authorized_keys file:

cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

Now you can login using public key authentication and you don’t have to enter a password anymore.
