How to use Authorized Keys to Create a Passwordless SSH Connection

Added on 1st February 2012

Rather than have to search through Google whenever I need to find the original article, I thought that I'd post it here for my own reference.

local$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
local$ scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub remote:~/
local$ ssh username@remote 
remote$ cat ~/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys remote$ chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
