SSH_Direct_Connect.md

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

Login to Laptop terminal.
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

Generate SSH keys (using RSA algorithm in this case):

ssh-keygen -t rsa

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.
