Client-Side:
Here is assumed that client and server username is the same.
Generate a public/private key on the server machine in ~/.ssh/laptop & Generate a public/private key on the client machine in ~/.ssh/laptop
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/laptop scp ~/.ssh/laptop.pub $USER@192.168.0.2:~
Create the folder ‘.ssh’ if it doesn’t exist and configure the public key to OpenSSH’s liking
ssh $USER@192.168.0.2 if [ ! -d .ssh ]; then mkdir .ssh ; chmod 700 .ssh ; fi ; mv laptop.pub .ssh/ ; cd .ssh/ ; if [ ! -f authorized_keys ]; then touch authorized_keys ; chmod 600 authorized_keys ; fi ; cat laptop.pub >> authorized_keys ; rm laptop.pub; exit
Test if you can connect without being prompted for a password, but you should have to enter the passphrase
ssh -i ~/.ssh/laptop $USER@192.168.0.2
Add passphrase to ssh-agent:
ssh-add .ssh/latop
Manually Rsync via SSH
rsync -avrz $USER@laptop:~/ .
