SSH Access a remote Linux Machine

Markdown

Simple recipe explaining how to access a remote Linux based machine from any computer via SSH. Based on: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-ssh-key-based-authentication-on-a-linux-server

The public SSH keys from cliens that which to SSH into the machine will be placed in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the root user's account. This will allow you to log into the server from the computer with your private key.

To view the public keys to add to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys: cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
