Using SSH without a password

Suppose you have two machines, the local one (you) and the remote one (remotesite.com).

To ssh from the local to the server without needing a password, perform these steps:

Quote:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

(don’t use a passphrase. Just hit return twice)

Quote:

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remotesite.com:

On the remote machine (remotesite.com)

Quote:

cat ~/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Thanks & Regards
