Using ssh-copy-id (recommended)

ssh-copy-id user@host

with this very simple command you can copy your public key to any user@host combination

Using scp

scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@host2:.ssh/authorized_keys

cd ~/ before.

The different is that scp will create a new file called authorized_keys while ssh-copy-id will add to id.

    ** The randomart is an easier way for humans to validate keys.
  2. Copy (and rename) id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys on Server (run from the same computer you run ssh-keygen);
    scp -r -P 22 /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub destination:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys<em>
    </em>

    Where destination is server B.

Now you can connect as root without a password between the servers.
