→‎Generating a Public/Private Key Pair

=== Generating a Public/Private Key Pair ===

~~This~~ The public/private key pair needs to be generated on and used on your '''c7host''' machine (i.e. the user/machine you're connecting '''from''').One common mistakes that students make is to either generate the key pair for the WRONG account, or copy the public key to the WRONG account on the intended remote machine.

The private key is the equivalent of a ''password'' (that it why it is considered to be ''private'' - only to be used by ''one'' owner).

That is why the private key is stored in the owner's '''~/.ssh/''' directory.
