Generate ssh keys
Ed25519 is an EdDSA scheme with very small (fixed size) keys,
introduced in OpenSSH 6.5, to check sshd version use sshd -V

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_personal_$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
-C "Let's Play" -a 100 ,

for old severs ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -o -a 100

SSH key file transfer
ssh-copy-id
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config set  PasswordAuthentication yes
on client console ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_file username@remote_host,
enter the remote user password, this will add the public to server
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
manual
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@remote_host "mkdir -p ~/.ssh &&
touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod -R go= ~/.ssh && cat >>
~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
