Password-less SSH

Want to SSH into your server without having to enter the password each time? Read on.

On your local machine in Terminal:

ssh-keygen -t rsa
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remote:~/
ssh username@remote

Enter your password and then on the remote server:

cat ~/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
exit

And finally on your local machine again:

ssh username@remote

You should now have been able to SSH in without having to enter your password.
