Setting up SSH Key Authentication Between Servers

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 19:52:05 +0000

I always forget how to do this, so I have to look it up each time. This will make it easier the next time. It is so simple, just I always forget.

First, I need to generate my ssh pub and private keys on the host server: ssh-keygen

Second, I need to copy the pub key to the remote server: ssh-copy-id -i id_rsa.pub user@server.local

Then, that it! Now that I wrote it down, I won’t forget it… I hope.
