| | Ok, lets start with something easy! :) What are SSH keys: SSH keys are a way to allow someone access to a user on another system without the need for a password. This is done with 2 key files one that is public and the other private. This is called "Public-key cryptography". The public key will be sent to the server that you want to connect to and the private will stay on your local (orclient) system.

Exchanging SSH keys using ssh-copy-id - A Random Walk Down Tech Street

| | It is common practice among Linux users to exchange ssh keys between machines so that you can ssh between them without having to authenticate. The manual process for doing this involves taking the public key of the local host (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) and appending it to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the remote host you wish to log in without a password. This process is simple, but requires a few different steps.
