scp file to another server without asking for password
hi
I tried reading some of the threads w.r.t scp/sftp file to another server in the same network without asking for password while copying files.....but couldnot succeed.
i have generated the public key for the system using "ssh-keygen -t " and kept it in the
.ssh/authorized_keys file.
even then it asked for password when i use scp
Any other way?
