SSH without passwords

If you need quick access from your home to the VPS there is an easy solution that won't require a password to login. First, create a private and public ssh key pair on your desktop:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Copy the public key to the vps (replace vps by the hostname or IP address):

ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub vps

Login to the VPS from the desktop:

ssh vps

And you should be able to login without a password. Enjoy!
