Hi Everybody,

I have private key with me (in my local pc) and public key in server (remote server) .Every time , I log in to the remote server , it ask passphrase to connect.Is there any way to connect the remote server without asking passphrase.

Looking forward for a solution.

Thanks in advance .

Regenerate the ssh-key without a passphrase.

When you run ssh-keygen command it prompts you to set one up instead of putting in a passphrase just hit enter.

Creating ssh key without passphrase will lead to security problem .There is one more work around.Its one time command .

#ssh-add /path/to/privatekey

It will ask passphrase for the first time. Later on we can connect the any remote server (if same pub key is present ) using private key .Any how thanks Kbscores for post .
