  1. SSH to the remote server and accept the certificate
    1. Example: 
      ssh Brandon@myserver
  2. Verify creation of the .ssh directory in your user home directory
    1. Linux Example: ~/.ssh
    2. Windows Example: C:Documents and Settingsmyuserid.ssh
  3. Use ssh-keygen to create a key pair on your client machine
    1. ssh-keygen -t dsa -f $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa -P ''
  4. Copy $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to the server
    1. $ scp id_dsa.pub  Brandon@myserver:/home/Brandon/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
  5. On the server run the following commands
    1. $ cd $HOME/.ssh
    2. $ cat id_dsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
    3. $ chmod 0600 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
  6. On the client, test the results by connecting to the server via SSH
    1. $ ssh myserver
