Having a problem using scp file without password. I have read and followed much of the advice (like in http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8600), but I am still having problems.

BoxA -- an IBM AIX box
BoxB -- a Linux box

I ran

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

ssh-keygen -t rsa

on BoxA under UserA account

I copied the id_rsa.pub file from BoxA to BoxB (i.e. copied the file from /home/UserA/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on BoxA to the /home/UserB/.ssh/authorized_keys file on BoxB).

I then tried the scp command on BoxA under the UserA account ...

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

scp file.txt  UserB@BoxB:/tmp

but I still get prompted for the UserB password.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

It appears you are unwilling or incapable of searching before posting.

If what you posted (as opposed to actual CUT & PASTE) is to be believed, then it appears you copied to the wrong file name.

I think the correct filename is: authorized_keys2

HTH & YMMV
