How can I set up password-less SSH login?
I am having a debian based linode server. All the time if need to login to remote server i do
ssh user@ip
and then I enter my password to login on remote server. How an I do the same thing using public and private key. Cause I don't want to give password to other ppls.
use ssh-keygen command to generate private and public key. Add your public key ( id_rsa.pub) in server's authorized_keys file ( located inside .ssh or create if doesn't exist ).
to allow others to login on your computer tell them to run ssh-keygen command on their computer, take their *.pub file and append inside ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
