Nice video. Instead of using the host a and host b text files, to distinguish between the two machines, you can run the hostname commands on each machine. Thanks for the great video!

Hi Tony, in case of doing a script in geany how would you write a script that allows an individual person to communicate via ssh (sshpass) and execute nmap scans and geoip/whois queries?

How can I do that with a server local windows and virtual server Ubuntu on VMware workstation ?

Really hope this reaches you, but will it still prompt for a password every time its changed? If the password use isn't disabled and expires and changes will they still have to receive it and enter it again?

Tony, why didn't you need to edit the sshd_config file to uncomment and change lines to no?
It still keeps prompting me for a password.

Nice video and informative. I am trying to to an rsync from my VM server over to my NAS. With root, I do not get prompted for a password. with any other user, I get prompted to enter a password. I tried the same for just doing ssh. Even if I have multiple keys in the authorized_keys file. What am I missing, thanks.

When copying the pub key, you entered a password. Where did you get it assuming you don't know it for the remote server

[iambernardyanzon]

Hi Tony, thanks for the amazing tutorial. It really helps especially for me as a beginner. I have a quick question about the password. What if you don't have the server password and I only have a private key. Can you use the private key to log in instead of the password directly? My user name and IP connect me to the server but it was asking for the password. When I tried to paste the private key it won't allow me it says invalid. Is it possible to use a private key instead without login in using your password?

[SHARK]

May I know I share the pub key to another host to logon the server with no password for another users?

[maxvanheuveln]

I am getting a mkdir cannot create .ssh directory already exist error?

[Sluo]

Thank you! If we are connecting to different servers do we generate different public keys for each server or the same one is used over and over?

[MukeshKumar-vvwd]

good presentation, to the point and simple enough

[SeedGH]

what about password-less connection from linux to windows

[photogyulai]

Suggestion if the server still let you in with password after the above settings.
In my sshd_config file there is a line `Include
And inside this folder there were another .conf file with one line: `PasswordAuthentication yes`

So, I had to modify the other configuration file as well.

at 4:25 , what exactly did you copy and entered exactly?
