.TH SSH-COPY-ID 1 "14 November 1999" "OpenSSH"
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
ssh-copy-id \- install your identity.pub in a remote machine's authorized_keys
|

|

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]]
|
||
|
|
.I "[user@]machine"
|
||
|
|
.br

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.BR ssh-copy-id
|
||
|
|
is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine (presumably
|
||
|
|
using a login password, so password authentication should be enabled,
|
||
|
|
unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities)
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
It also changes the permissions of the remote user's home,
|
||
|
|
.BR ~/.ssh ,
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.B ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
||
|
|
to remove group writability (which would otherwise prevent you from logging in, if the remote
|
||
|
|
.B sshd
|
||
|
|
has
|
||
|
|
.B StrictModes
|
||
|
|
set in its configuration).
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B -i
|
||
|
|
option is given then the identity file (defaults to
|
||
|
|
.BR ~/.ssh/identity.pub )
|
||
|
|
is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
|
||
|
|
.BR ssh-agent .
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, if this:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B " ssh-add -L"
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If the
|
||
|
|
.B -i
|
||
|
|
option is used, or the
|
||
|
|
.B ssh-add
|
||
|
|
produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity
|
||
|
|
file. Once it has one or more fingerprints (by whatever means) it
|
||
|
|
uses ssh to append them to
|
||
|
|
.B ~/.ssh/authorised_keys
|
||
|
|
on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory, if necessary)
|
||
