How to: Create Passwordless SSH Remote Login
The intention is simple: just let me in without asking for password again and again! Follow the steps to achieve this: 1. Generate RSA key from host machine (skip this if you have already got one) ssh-keygen -t rsa -C <youremail@email.com> Accept the default location and DO NOT give a password to it. 2. Copy the RSA key generated to your remote machine cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@<remotemachineipaddress> 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' So far, it is all done. 3. A step further It would be great if can we save the time on typing the hideous 'SSH' and 'blarblar@blar.blar.blar.blar' as well, wouldn't it? Set up an alias for it from your host machine then. alias apple='ssh root@<remotemachineipaddress>' Put the line into '~/.bashrc' so that it would persist. And there we go, apple is your new login!
