In this case we are trying root-root connection.įull output is below and I am adding needed details in between them So to get this copied, you need to login / switch to the user for which you have created the key. Here we are going to copy the root ssh key to the servers root level access.
#Ssh copy id with putty password#
This Utility will scan your local account for any rsa public key and will prompt you for the password of the remote user’s account. Now you can write all your automated scripts for system admin work without having to enter a password manually and save time on day to day access of systems you use all the time.įirst you need to check if there is a command like this and if the command is working and user as which you are trying is having access to this command, then you can use this command to copy the public key to the remote server. Once the command is completed you will not need a password for each login. Ssh-copy-id will handle the copy and setup of the key to a remote server in the proper way for you. Copying the ssh key using normal ssh user/pass as one liner from our local machine or after logging in the server.There are 2 different ways to get this copied to your destination server ~$ Step 2 : Copy this created Key Pair to your Destination Server SHA256:z4nl0d9vJpo /5bdc4gYZh8nnTjHtXB4Se /UqyuyigUI sumesh key 's randomart image is: Your public key has been saved in /root /.ssh /id_rsa.pub. Your identification has been saved in /root /.ssh /id_rsa. Some times this will says like:Įnter file in which to save the key ( /root /.ssh /id_rsa ):Įnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase ): If you want to try alternate path, then you need to specify the same there. If default is fine, you can simply press enter. It is asking the path to save the key and default one is normally fine. In line “Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):” I am using default one here.Ĭouple of things to be taken care in the below output: For that you need to use “-b 4096” in the ssh-keygen command end. When we give ssh-keygen command, it will by default create a 2048 -bit RSA Key pair and if you need more stronger encryption you can use 4096 bit as well. To setup SSH keys between two servers we need to follow these steps: Step 1 : Create a Key Pair in the Source ServerĬreate a key pair on the source server. Having your SSH keys setup can prevent the need for password to be entered manually for each task. There are numerous uses for SSH and the importance of SSH keys is when there is more repetitive process to be done in a short period like copying some files or folders, multiple users, multiple folders, multiple accounts, cpanel backups etc and in these cases it will be really boring and time consuming if you have to give ssh password each time it asks. You can move files, sync folders, migrate accounts and server files, copy backups etc. SSH is an important tool when it comes to a work to be done in another server.
