ssh for different user account in a server configuration
Hi team,
I am not able to configure the ssh settings for a UserA to do ssh or scp to the UserB in the same server , what could be the best way to do the ssh form UserA to UserB.

I've generated the public key in UserA ~/.ssh and kept a copy of that in ~/.ssh of authorized_key of UserB . Still not able to do the ssh or scp on either side . Smilie

Did you place the key in the file .ssh/authorized keys? Are .ssh permissions 700?
is /home/userB 755 and /homeUserA 755? Did you retain the private key in the .ssh directory in each case?

To be clear:
UserA has to have userA's public key in /home/userB/.ssh. UserB has to have userB's public key in /home/userA/.ssh

Permissions have to be correct.
