SSH from Windows to Linux without entering a password
- by Josh
I am trying to use ssh/scp from Windows to Linux without having to enter a password.
This is what I have done, and it doesn't seem to work:
generated public and private keys using Putty Key Generator (on Windows)
saved the files as id_rsa.pub and id_rsa
copied them into ~/.ssh
added id_rsa.pub to the Linux box in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
I then try to ssh to the Linux box from Windows and I still have to enter a password
Am I missing something?
