SSH login without password
It's common to use ssh and scp for communicating and transferring files to and from a server. If you want to auto-login without a password, here's how to setup SSH to use encryption keys to do so.
- Run ssh-keygen to create an encryption key pair, the public and private keys on your PC. You can just hit return for each question.
