    # How to ssh to a remote server without typing your password

    Save yourself a few keystrokes. Follow the steps below:

    1. Run this Bash script on your laptop:

    ```bash
    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    # The hostname of your remote server.
    host=myserver.com

    # Create this folder if it does not exist: ~/.ssh
    mkdir ~/.ssh

    # Set the correct permissions (required)
    chmod 700 ~/.ssh

    # Generate an RSA key pair for identification with the remote server
    ssh-keygen -t rsa

    # Copy your public key to the remote server
    cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh $host 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'

    # ssh is very strict about correct permissions
    ssh $host 'chmod g-w,o-w ~; chmod 700 ~/.ssh; chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
    ```

    At this point, you can connect to your server without typing a password:

    ```bash
    ssh myserver.com
    ```
