To generate public\/private key pair, simply run the following command: Following are step-by-step instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. <\/strong>Open your terminal window in your Linux, Mac, or Windows machine by typing terminal in the search box or spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.\u00a0<\/strong>Type the following command<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.\u00a0<\/strong>You should see a prompt like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.\u00a0<\/strong>Press the return key and it will create a .ssh directory as below. Alternately you can define a different location for the key pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5.\u00a0<\/strong>You will be prompted to type a password twice. The you will get confirmation of the creation of your keys:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note that the private key is id_rsa. This is the key you should never share. id_rsa.pub is the public key. You share this key. Any data encrypted with your public key can only be opened with your private key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copying your key pair to a server<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To copy your key to a server, user secure copy (scp) as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This post shows how to generate public \/ private key pair.
