SSH Without Password
December 21, 2011
It's possible to use SSH without being prompted for a password. This is useful for automated backup scripts, etc.
Create Key
First create a key
$ ssh-keygen
Copy Key to Remote Server
Next, copy the key to the remote server
$ ssh-copy-id remote@server.co.uk
This will prompt for the remote user password for the last time.
You should now be able to login to the remote server without requiring password entry.
