Remote access by typing password only once

one_time_remote_access.txt

This document shows step by step procedure on how to SSH without using password everytime

Type the following commands:

1. cd .ssh
2. vim config

when you open config file, type the following:

host snake
	HostName 127.0.0.1
	Port 22
	user xyz

3. ssh-keygen -t rsa (this is a one time process, when you add other hosts, then you dont need to run this command)

4. ssh xyz@127.0.0.1 mkdir -p .ssh

5. cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh xyz@127.0.0.1 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

6. ssh xyz@127.0.0.1 

7. ssh snake (this is the step where you dont have to type the password again).


After Step 7 , everytime you type ssh snake it should connect automatically without any prompt for the password
