Scenario: Connect from Laptop to Desktop using SSH without password prompt.

  1. Login to Laptop terminal.

  2. Make sure there is a .ssh directory in home folder of user and that it is only accessible to the user:

mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
  1. Generate SSH keys (using RSA algorithm in this case):
ssh-keygen -t rsa
  1. This will generate the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. Copy the id_rsa.pub on the Desktop as ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
