| + | Time to open this file for editing, one way to do this is the command ''nano authorized_keys''. The file should be empty, if it is not go to a new empty row and leave the cursor there for a moment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now let's go to our public key file in our pc, open it with any program and copy all the text you see starting from the //ssh-rsa// all the way to the e-mail at the end (including it). Select all the text (''Ctrl+A''), copy all the text either with ''Ctrl+C'', either with right click and copy. | ||
| + | **Important:** __Make sure it is the public key and it begins with //ssh-rsa// !!__ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Having the key copied in the clipboard we can change back to the ircnow shell and press right click and paste or ''Ctrl+Shift+V'', and the text should appear on the new row in the file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now let's close the editor, if you used nano the command is ''Ctrl+x'' and press ''Yes'' at the prompt that asks you whether to save or discard the changes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Next time you ssh into your shell there will be no need to insert the password, if you added a passphrase to you key during creation, that might be requested instead, otherwise you will log in directly! | ||
