file transfer using scp

[Kipp, Jim]

Some steps to follow, may have to expirament a bit:

1. make sure you have pub key authentication enables in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:  PubkeyAuthentication yes

2. make sure the target machine knows about client, by adding to this
file in ~/.ssh/known_hosts

3. run ssh-keygen -t rsa , DON't give passphrase when prompted

4. copy your pub key over to target system:
scp -p .ssh/my_rsa.pub  user at li:~/.ssh/key.pub

5. add key to auth file on target
cat  my_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

6. start the agent: ssh-agent /bin/bash  (see man ssh-agent)

7. run ssh-add , ssh-add -l  to make sure you key is in memory
