/> Ensure that the remote server has a .ssh directory</p><p>Make sure the server your connecting to has a .ssh directory in your home directory. If it doesn't exist you can run the ssh-keygen command above, and it will create one with the correct permissions.<br
/> Copy your local public key to the remote server</p><p>If your remote server doesn't have a file called ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 then we can create it. If that file already exists, you need to append to it instead of overwriting it, which the command below would do:</p><div
class="codecolorer-container text twitlight" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;"><table
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td
style="padding:5px;text-align:center;color:#888888;background-color:#EEEEEE;border-right: 1px solid #9F9F9F;font: normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;"><div>1<br
/></div></td><td><div
class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote.server.com:.ssh/authorized_keys2</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>Now ssh to the remote server</p><p>Now you can ssh to the remote server without entering your password.<br
/> Security</p><p>If you are unable to login without being prompted for a password it is likely the result of improper permissions being set on .ssh/ and its children. SSH is picky about permissions; to fix the problem, ssh to the remote server and issue the following command:</p><div
class="codecolorer-container text twitlight" style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #9F9F9F;"><table
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td
style="padding:5px;text-align:center;color:#888888;background-color:#EEEEEE;border-right: 1px solid #9F9F9F;font: normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;"><div>1<br
/></div></td><td><div
class="text codecolorer" style="padding:5px;font:normal 12px/1.4em Monaco, Lucida Console, monospace;white-space:nowrap">chmod -R 700 .ssh/</div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>Now keep in mind that all someone needs to login to the remote server, is the file on your local machine ~/.ssh/id_rsa, so make sure it is secure.</p><p>Reference: <a
