ssh-copy-id

[thufir]

reading the fine manual:


The key you need to transfer to the host is the public one. If you can 
log in to a computer over SSH using a password, you can transfer your RSA 
key by doing the following from your own computer:

ssh-copy-id <username>@<host>

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys

the "host" refers to the remote?  local would be, for example, a laptop.


I thought I read to copy the private key...?



thanks,
