What problem does it solve?
This Skill simplifies setting up SSH key-based authentication on remote servers, eliminating the need to enter passwords for subsequent logins.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automate SSH key generation: Detect existing keys and generate a new pair if absent.
- Public key deployment: Copy the public key to the remote server to enable passwordless login.
- Verified remote access: Quickly verify access by attempting an SSH login to the configured host.
Quick Start
Provide the remote username and hostname (or IP) to deploy your public key to a remote server and enable passwordless authentication. Use the scripts/deploy_key.ps1 with the appropriate -User, -HostName, -Port, and -PubFile parameters, or construct the equivalent SSH command to append your public key to the remote host's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
