Openssh, create a public key authentication from cli only
Hey!
Im trying to create a public/private key for open ssh, I don't really know what difference between the two. I want it to all be one command and not have to hit enter after each command. Here is what I mean:
i type "ssh-keygen"
and it asks me were to save, then my paraphrase, then reenter the paraphrase.
I just want it to be I guess you could say unattended if that makes any sense.
Thanks.

the commands have defaults, just use them. run the ssh-keygen, and keep hitting enter until your prompt returns. Then copy the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the system you want to log in to, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
it should work.New to the internet, technical forums, or the hacker / open source community??
