SSH password less setup asking for password
Hello Experts,
when I am trying to connect my target server through sftp after creating ssh password less setup, it is asking for passowrd to connect.
to setup this I followed below process:
-->generated keys by executing the command "ssh-keygen -t rsa"
-->this created my .ssh directory and id_rsa,id_rsa_pub keys
-->after I executed the command "touch authorizedkeys" and gave permissions 600
--> I copied key from my target server into source authorizedkeys file and vice versa.
so now I tried to connect through sftp it is asking for password.
please suggest me, if I am missing anything..
Thanks,
Devi ch
