#36 Konquer Remote Systems Without Passwords

HACK

@ symbol:

$ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub oxnard@norbert:.ssh/authorized_keys2

and press Enter.

When you want to access the

oxnard account using the FISH or SFTP proto-

col from Konqueror, take the same approach as you did when you used your

local username, substituting your remote username. For example, use sftp://

oxnard@norbert to use SFTP to connect to your oxnard home directory on

the remote server without using a password, and use fish://oxnard@norbert

to use FISH to connect to the remote server without using a password.
