Script to automagically enable SSH login through RSA key for the current user on a remote machine
#!/bin/bash
###############################################################################
# ALLOW-SSH SCRIPT #
# Author: Mikael Levén #
###############################################################################
# What this script basically does: #
# 1. Reads your SSH key #
# 2. Logins in to the remote server #
# 3. Creates a new user using your current username #
# 4. Creates the /home/{user}/.ssh/ folder #
# 5. Adds your RSA key to the 'authorized_keys' #
# 6. Sets required permissions #
###############################################################################
USER=$(id -u -n)

echo "USAGE: AllowSSH [{username}@]{host}"
echo ""
echo "This script will SSH into the server and add your SSH RSA key to the 'authorized keys' and thus enable passwordless SSH login automatically."
echo ""
echo "The username ('{username}@') is optional and if omitted the current username '$USER' will be used."
echo ""
echo "Some examples:"
echo "AllowSSH [email protected]"
echo "AllowSSH root@myhost"
echo "AllowSSH 192.168.0.1"
