Copy your ssh public key to a server from a machine that doesn't have ssh-copy-id

If you use Mac OS X or some other *nix variant that doesn't come with ssh-copy-id, this one-liner will allow you to add your public key to a remote machine so you can subsequently ssh to that machine without a password.

Copy your ssh public key to a server from a machine that doesn't have ssh-copy-id

This one is a bit more robust -- the remote machine may not have an .ssh directory, and it may not have an authorized_keys file, but if it does already, and you want to replace your ssh public key for some reason, this will work in that case as well, without duplicating the entry.

Copy your ssh public key to a server from a machine that doesn't have ssh-copy-id

Creates the .ssh directory on the remote host with proper permissions, if it doesnt exist. Appends your public key to authorized_keys, and verifies it has proper permissions. (if it didnt exist it may have been created with undesireable permissions).

*Korn shell syntax, may or may not work with bash

...if you have sudo access, you could just install ssh-copy-id (Mac users: take note. this is how you install ssh-copy-id )

Mac install ssh-copy-id

From there on out, you would upload keys to a server like this:

(make sure to double quote the full path to your key)

ssh-copy-id -i "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PRIVATE/KEY" username@server

or, if your SSH server uses a different port (often, they will require that the port be '2222' or some other nonsense:

(note the double quotes on *both* the "/path/to/key" and "user@server -pXXXX"):

ssh-copy-id -i "/PATH/TO/YOUR/PRIVATE/KEY" "username@server -pXXXX"

...where XXXX is the ssh port on that server
