1. Generate a SSH keypair
Generate a SSH keypair on the local computer that you will use to connect to the remote host. On macOS and Linux, you can use the ssh–keygen command to generate the keypair.
2. Copy the public key to the remote host Copy the content of the public
SSH key in the keypair to the remote host. This can be done with the ssh–copy–id command.
3. Connect to the remote host using a SSH key Finally, use the ssh command to connect to the remote host using the SSH key.
The command should look like this: ssh –i <keypair_name> username@remote_host. Replace <keypair_name> with the name of the keypair file and username@remote_host with the username and hostname of the remote host.
