scpHow to use SCP without a password?

SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is a secure way to transfer files between two computers. It can be used without a password by using SSH keys.

To use SCP without a password, you need to generate an SSH key pair on the local computer and copy the public key to the remote computer.

Example code

# Generate an SSH key pair
ssh-keygen -t rsa

# Copy the public key to the remote computer
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote_host:~/.ssh/authorized_keys

The code above will generate an SSH key pair and copy the public key to the remote computer.

Code explanation

1. ssh-keygen -t rsa: Generates an SSH key pair on the local computer.
2. scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote_host:~/.ssh/authorized_keys: Copies the public key to the remote computer.
