Bazaar

Copying ssh key

Asked by OldAl

My OS is ubuntu 9.04. I have done some hacking from one computer 'primo', so far fearly successfully. I want to also do some launchpad hacking from another computer - 'sec' . What is a safe procedure to copy the ssh keys from one computer to another?

I realise that, strictly speaking, the question is not bazaar, but the answer would help me to avoid the disasters that some others have reported, so I thank you in advance!

OldAl.

scp .ssh/id_rsa* sec:.ssh/.

Should be enough to copy your ssh key from the local machine to the
'sec' machine.

However, you may want to stage it with
scp .ssh/id_rsa* sec:.

In case 'sec' already has some ssh keys that you want to save.
