Learning on how to use the (SSH) in any enviornment [HELP!!]

INTRODUCTION:

I'm taking a LINUX class at school and I would like to learn more about logging into another computer remotely using the secure shell (ssh). I would like to learn to do this with the computers in our lab as a self initiative so I can eventually share files between my own computers.

PROBLEMS I'M HAVING:

I'm familiar with operating inside terminal on my macbook and have researched using the (ssh) from a mac to a mac. However, the computers at school are slightly different and it's hard knowing what specifics to research because of these differences.

SPECIFICS OF THE COMPUTERS IN THE LAB @ SCHOOL

There are 12 hp computers in the lab. The computers are setup differently than other computers on campus specifically for the purposes of this class. We all created a profile and installed "slackware" on them to setup the virtual machine in using the LINUX box. When terminal starts up we are in the "bash".

I would love to just do this from my own mac book since I use it for the class but I'm not familiar with what I would have to do to access those certain computers in the lab. I don't think that would be a good idea either. Therefore, I thought it may be easier just using the computers in the lab.

I realize this can be an extensive troubleshooting process and I don't expect anyone to write out every step. Errors will occur I'm sure so I would much rather do this a better way so I actually learn what I'm doing. Can someone help me get started in the right direction. Any documentation or resources would be appreciated.

ssh-copy-id

SSH-COPY-ID(1)						      General Commands Manual						    SSH-COPY-ID(1)

NAME

       ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine

DESCRIPTION

       ssh-copy-id  is	a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
       rized_keys file.

       If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in  your
       ssh-agent.  Otherwise, if this:

	     ssh-add -L

       provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.

       If  the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file.  Once it has one or more fin-
       gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
       if necessary.)

NOTES

       This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
       its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability  disabled  manu-
       ally, e.g. via

	     chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

       on the remote machine.
