====== Passwordless SSH ====== Check if you already have a public key ls .ssh/id_rsa.pub If not, generate one ssh-keygen -t rsa Make sure the ''.ssh'' directory exists on the remote host, then append the key to the ''authorized_keys'' file (from the client, to the remote host): cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@remotehost 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'
