This tutorial will explain how to create and use keys (AKA Public and Private Keys) to connect to a Linux Host. Also, I will explain the steps to use Visual Studio Code with SSH.
- 🏃Speedy: SSH using keys makes the connection very fast, removing the process of password input on connection to the host machine.
- 🔒Secure: SSH using keys is much more secure than password inputs; due to the nature of key pairs, authentication cannot be brute-forced from a third party. (
⚠️ Unless somehow you are leaking the keys to the public.)
