To connect to an SSH server using an SSH key, follow these steps:
1. Generate an SSH key pair on your local machine, if you haven’t already. This can be done using the ssh-keygen command in your terminal.
1. Copy the public key to the remote server. This can be done by appending the contents of the local public key file to the authorized\_keys file on the remote server. You can use the ssh-copy-id command to automate this process.
1. Open your terminal and enter the following command: ssh -i /path/to/private/key user@serveraddress
1. Replace “/path/to/private/key” with the actual path to your private key file.
1. Replace “user” with the actual username you use to connect to the remote server.
1. Replace “serveraddress” with the actual IP address or hostname of the remote server.
1. If everything is set up correctly, the SSH connection will be established using your key pair.
