enable scp from one node to another without promping for password

[La_4]

Hi,

I am trying to scp file from one node to another one for specific user example tom from nodeA to rob on nodeB. tom and rob belong to the same group.

- i genereated key with #ssh-keygen -t rsa under /home/tom/.ssh/
- i then open tom.pub file, past it on nodeB under /home/rob/.ssh/authorized_keys and save the file. i also made sure that the file has no gap.
- when i tried to scp file.txt tom@nodeB:/home/rob/ it always asking for password. after putting password, the file is copied. I not suppose to be asked for password.

Could someone help if i miss something, step and/or something. i checked the permission .ssh is 700 and .ssh/authorized_keys is 644.

Thanks alot!

Hello,

Check if there is another file with name authorized_keys2 then make entry in it.

remove known hosts entry form TOM system.

You should scp this file to the nodeB (not copy &paste from one to other node)
