Documented steps Generate a key: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/deploy_key -N "" Install the public key: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/deploy_key.pub user@host (or append the .pub line to the server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys) In ~/.ssh/config add a Host block: HostName, User, IdentityFile ~/.ssh/deploy_key, IdentitiesOnly yes, BatchMode yes Call scp/sftp/ssh with the Host alias; BatchMode yes makes ssh fail fast instead of prompting for a password in scripts Known gotchas Ed25519 is the recommended modern key type; legacy RSA may need HostKeyAlgorithms alignment on very new OpenSSH clients BatchMode yes disables all password AND host-key prompts, so automation fails loudly instead of hanging A passphrase-less key in scripts is sensitive — where possible restrict it on the server with authorized_keys options (command=, no-pty, etc.)
