Then I tried both sudo ssh rsand ssh rs Still I was prompted for password. I entered my remote server after entering password and found the file that was transferred in /root/.ssh as shown ahead.root@ravi:~/.ssh# ls                             authorized_keys known_hosts                                      root@ravi:~/.ssh# Please note rs is an alias for my remote server.
