I have been trying to set up remote file copy without password between 2 Linux machines. I have appended my .ssh/id_rsa.pub from local to remote .ssh/authorized_keys. I have also set up correct file permissions (700 for my home directory and .ssh, 600 for authorized_keys).SSH consistently continues to ask me for password. Any ideas? All required information should be below.I do not have root access to either of these 2 machines.local:$ uname -a && ssh -VLinux localhost 2.6.32-xxx.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 15:04:44 PST 2012 x86_64
