SSH Key

Creating an SSH Key

Linux

cd ~/
cd .ssh
ssh-keygen

This will take you into your home directory.
Then you will go into a hidden directory ".ssh"
ssh-keygen will create the direction.

Too look at the file:

cat id_rsa.pub
less id_rsa.pub

less will paginate the contents of the file.

You should get something that looks like:

ssh-rsa AAAza3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDVw1y5XSkGsBz+dDnxwhgpBJ+8zuSIdj6ReoCNhd3sgh
