| On Mac OSX, the native SSH client can use the built-in keychain directly. | |
| Open terminal. | |
| Write: | |
| mkdir ~/.ssh | |
| cd ~/.ssh | |
| Copy your private key "id_rsa" to /.ssh folder. | |
| Write in terminal also: | |
| chmod 400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa | |
| ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa | |
| You will then be prompted for your passcode, which will be stored in your keychain. | |
| After this you should be ready for a password-less login. |
