SSH Key Setup on Ubuntu

SSH key authentication provides a secure and convenient way to log in to the server without entering a password.

On your local machine, generate a new SSH key pair:

ssh-keygen

Copy the public key to the server or your github account:

ssh-copy-id [username]@[server_ip_address] -p [port_number]

Now you should be able to log in to the server without entering a password:

ssh [username]@[server_ip_address] -p [port_number]

That’s it! You should now have SSH set up on your Ubuntu server.
