Tips

  • You can use ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C youremail@xxx.com to generate the private and public key. Use ssh-copy-id -i xxx.pub -p 22 yourusername@x.x.x.x to send the public key to the remote server.
  • You can log in to multiple remote servers using one pair of public and private keys.
  • The Host value in the ~/.ssh/config file can be set to non-ASCII characters, so you can type Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.
  • You can upload your ~/.ssh folder to a git private repository to make it easy to synchronize configurations across multiple machines.
