@ symbol:
$ scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub oxnard@norbert:.ssh/authorized_keys2
Password:
Now type in the password for the oxnard user account on the remote system
and press Enter.
When you want to access the
oxnard account using the FISH or SFTP proto-

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

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