Generate the key pair<br /> ssh-keygen -f kgp_rsa<br /> Now you have two files, kgp_rsa which is your private key file and kgp_rsa.pub which is the public key file.<br /> <br /> 2. Copy the public key file to the target, using the password provided in the email when enabling ssh<br /> ssh-copy-id -i kgp_rsa.pub root@your-target-hostname-or-ip<br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Note that for OPI you can use your opi-name, or if you are on the same local network and your router have problems with accessing local resources on portforwards, you can use root@local.youropiname.op-i.me&#039;&#039;</div>
