• This will step you through the process of generating a SSH keypair on Mac OS X. Begin by opening your Terminal, generally found in the 'Utilities' subdirectory of your 'Applications' directory. Generating a keypair Before you generate your keypair, come up with a passphrase. The rules for good passwords also apply here: mix of upper and lower case, numbers, spaces and punctuation.

  Secure Shell (SSH) offers a safe way to communicate with a server and to connect to systems remotely. Consequently, SSH is a vital skill for anyone who works in IT. In this short course, Scott Simpson explains what SSH is and shows how to connect to an SSH server from different operating systems. He also demonstrates how to transfer files via SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and secure copy (SCP), and how to set up your own SSH server on Linux and Mac OS X.

  - To generate a key pair on a Mac or Linux machine, in the terminal I'll write ssh-keygen -t rsa to specify the RSA encryption algorithm type. RSA is a widely used encryption algorithm. This will start up an interactive series of prompts asking you where you want to store the key. In this case, I'll leave it as the default. You could rename the key if you anticipate having many different keys. I'll press enter to accept this recommendation. The next option is whether to set a pass phrase. This might seem a little counter intuitive, given that we're using a key to avoid using a password for the log in, but this is the pass phrase to unlock the key, not to log directly into the remote server. Keys are great but if your private key gets stolen, anyone with that file will be able to log into that server as you. Setting a password on the key helps makes it harder for an attacker to do this. Every time you need to unlock the key to use it, you'll need to type the password, so make it…

How do I generate ssh RSA keys under Linux operating systems?
You need to use the ssh-keygen command as follows to generate RSA keys (open terminal and type the following command):
ssh-keygen -t rsa
OR
ssh-keygen
Sample outputs:

The -t type option specifies the type of key to create. The possible values “rsa” or “dsa” for protocol version 2. The $HOME/.ssh stores the following two files:

• $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa – Your private RSA key
• $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub – Your public RSA key

Please do not share keys file with anyone else. You can upload keys to remote server as follows:
ssh-copy-id userName@server2.nixcraft.net.in
Finally, you can login to remote server as follows:
ssh userName@server2.nixcraft.net.in
scp file.txt userName@server2.nixcraft.net.in:~/data2/
