Configuring OpenSSH for Public Key Authentication

This is the best guide I have found for configuring OpenSSH on Windows for Public Key Authentication. PK authentication makes it possible to ssh to a remote system without the need for a password (which can be dangerous) during tasks that you would like to automate, like backups or syncronization of two systems.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.

Can’t u use PuTTY for that?

I think you probably could, but my need for this was to automate Unison file syncronization to sync two servers. Unison uses SSH not PuTTY as it’s secure communication layer.
