The purpose of this guide is to explain how to use public key authentication with versions of SSH that you may find within the computer science network.

If you have never used SSH before, or are still new to the UNIX environment, then I recommend familiarizing yourself with both SSH and UNIX first.

For a nice tutorial on how to use SSH, check out Magi's SSH Tricks.
