I am trying to setup passwordless sftp from one of linux box to solaris box.
I have generated key-pair and below is the permissions of the respective files.
Code:
drwx------. 2 sftpuser sftpuser 4096 Dec 17 23:57 .ssh
drwx------. 2 sftpuser sftpuser 4096 Dec 17 23:57 .
-rw-r--r--. 1 sftpuser sftpuser 609 Dec 17 23:57 id_dsa.pub
-rw-------. 1 sftpuser sftpuser 668 Dec 17 23:57 id_dsa
-rw-r--r--. 1 sftpuser sftpuser 220 Dec 17 23:45 known_hosts
-rw-------. 1 sftpuser sftpuser 1675 Dec 17 23:44 id_rsa
-rw-r--r--. 1 sftpuser sftpuser 401 Dec 17 23:44 id_rsa.pub
drwx------. 5 sftpuser sftpuser 4096 Dec 17 23:40 ..
I copied id_rsa.pub using sftp to my solaris box and while trying to connect using public key it is still asking for password as shown in below snapshot.
Code:
bash-3.00$ sftp -o IdentityFile=id_rsa.pub sftpuser@IP
Connecting to IP...
sftpuser@IP's password:
Am I missing something here? Are there any configs that needs to be made for password less ssh to work..
Thanks in Advance for your kind help..

Hi,
I set up the keys on local and remote server. If I simply do:

Anybody know how to rectify this? Thanks a bunch.

ssh-add
SSH-ADD(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ADD(1)NAME
ssh-add -- adds private key identities to the authentication agent
SYNOPSIS
ssh-add [-cDdLlXx] [-t life] [file ...]
ssh-add -s pkcs11
ssh-add -e pkcs11
DESCRIPTION
ssh-add adds private key identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it adds the files ~/.ssh/id_rsa,
~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa and ~/.ssh/identity. After loading a private key, ssh-add will try to load corresponding certificate informa-
tion from the filename obtained by appending -cert.pub to the name of the private key file. Alternative file names can be given on the com-
mand line.
If any file requires a passphrase, ssh-add asks for the passphrase from the user. The passphrase is read from the user's tty. ssh-add
retries the last passphrase if multiple identity files are given.
The authentication agent must be running and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable must contain the name of its socket for ssh-add to work.
The options are as follows:
-c Indicates that added identities should be subject to confirmation before being used for authentication. Confirmation is performed by
the SSH_ASKPASS program mentioned below. Successful confirmation is signaled by a zero exit status from the SSH_ASKPASS program,
rather than text entered into the requester.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-d Instead of adding identities, removes identities from the agent. If ssh-add has been run without arguments, the keys for the default
identities will be removed. Otherwise, the argument list will be interpreted as a list of paths to public key files and matching
keys will be removed from the agent. If no public key is found at a given path, ssh-add will append .pub and retry.
-e pkcs11
Remove keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-s pkcs11
Add keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11.
-t life
Set a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format specified in
sshd_config(5).
-X Unlock the agent.
-x Lock the agent with a password.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh-add does
not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and
open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from a .xsession or related script.
(Note that on some machines it may be necessary to redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)
SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Identifies the path of a UNIX-domain socket used to communicate with the agent.
FILES
~/.ssh/identity
Contains the protocol version 1 RSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_dsa
Contains the protocol version 2 DSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_ecdsa
Contains the protocol version 2 ECDSA authentication identity of the user.
~/.ssh/id_rsa
Contains the protocol version 2 RSA authentication identity of the user.
Identity files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Note that ssh-add ignores identity files if they are accessible by others.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, 1 if the specified command fails, and 2 if ssh-add is unable to contact the authentication agent.
