Open SSH is the most widely used SSH server on Linux. Using SSH, one can connect to a remote host and gain a shell access on it in a secure manner as all traffic is encrypted.
A neat feature of open SSH is to authenticate a user using a public/private key pair to log into the remote host. By doing so, you won't be prompted for the remote user's password.
This tutorial will describe how to create a SSH public/private key pair, how to enable key based authentication and finally how to disable password authentication.
