• ssh [email protected]= Connect with root user to 64.225.108.160 server address
• ssh-keygen -t rsa= Create SSH Key Pair with 'rsa' algorithm. SSH Key Pair is stored to the default location ~/.ssh
• ls .ssh/= Display contents of .ssh folder, which has:
  • id_rsa = Private Key
  • id_rsa.pub = Public Key
• ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa [email protected] = Connect with root user to 64.225.108.160 server address with specified private key file location (.ssh/id_rsa = default, but you can specify a different one like this)

Two Files used by SSH:

• ~/.ssh/known_hosts = lets the client authenticate the server to check that it isn't connecting to an impersonator
• ~/.ssh/authorized_keys = lets the server authenticate the user
