Gen SSH

$ ssh-keygen

$ ls -l /home/user/.ssh
-rw------- 1 user user 2610 Feb  7 15:11 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user  573 Feb  7 15:11 id_rsa.pub

Take note of the permissions of the private key ( id_rsa ). SSH Private Key files should ALWAYS HAVE 600 PERMISSIONS! If not, change its permission to the said value using the chmod command:

$ chmod 600 /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa

$ ssh-copy-id USER@IP

If you do not have ssh-copy-id available, but you have password-based SSH access to an account on your server, you can upload your keys using a conventional SSH method.

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@remote_host "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

$ ssh USER@IP
