ssh-copy-id - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your identity.pub in a remote machines authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine (presumably
using a login password, so password authentication should be enabled,
unless youve done some clever use of multiple identities)
It also changes the permissions of the remote users home,
~/.ssh, and
~/.ssh/authorized_keys to remove group writability (which would otherwise prevent you from logging in, if the remote
sshd has
StrictModes set in its configuration).
If the
-i option is given then the identity file (defaults to
~/.ssh/identity.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the
-i option is used, or the
ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity
file. Once it has one or more fingerprints (by whatever means) it
uses ssh to append them to
~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory, if necessary)
