1.)First we need to create Public and Private keys in the host machine. Use the following command in the host machine. jsmith@local-host$ ssh-keygen If created correctly, you might find the following output. Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jsmith/.ssh/id_rsa): [Enter key] Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): [Press enter key] Enter same passphrase again: [Pess enter key] Your identification has been saved in /home/jsmith/.ssh /id_rsa . Your public key has been saved in /home/jsmith/.ssh/ id_rsa.pub . The key fingerprint is: 33:b3:fe:af:95:95:18:11:31:d5:de:96:2f:f2:35:f9 jsmith@local-host 2.) You will see the two keys id_rsa and id_rsa.pub created in your home folder in which id_rsa.pub is the public key which you need to copy to the destination machines home folder using the following command. jsmith@local-host$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub remo...
