Hi,

Thank you very much.

I deleted the folder id_rsa And successfully created the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub key

I pasted the id_rsa.pub contents in authorized_keys as well as known_hosts files in .ssh of my home directory directory of target server(user id same for both target as well as the source server)

in know_hosts i entered servername, public key contents.

but still its asking for password while using ssh or scp.

I've have doubt in the formatt and location of authorized_keys and known_hosts.
please help me.

Thanks.

       -f file
	      Write the secret key to the file file.

	      Set the key size to bits bits, should be multiple of 8 (optional).

       -y     Just print the publickey and fingerprint for the private key in file.

EXAMPLE

       generate a host-key:
	# dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

       extract a public key suitable for authorized_keys from private key:
	# dropbearkey -y -f id_rsa | grep "^ssh-rsa " >> authorized_keys
