[CENTOS] SSH public key authentication was set for Sakura VPS Cent OS 7.7

Install Cent OS 7.7 on Sakura VPS and start from a clean state.

Update package

yum -y update

Log in with ssh to add users and set passwords

ssh [email protected]
adduser hogehoge
passwd　hogehoge

Change permissions

cd ../
chmod 700 hogehoge

Make a key on your Mac

mkdir .ssh
cd .ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/aya/.ssh/id_rsa): hogehoge #Name of any key
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:

The passphrase is optional, but don't forget it. You now have two files, "hogehoge_rsa" and "hogehoge_rsa.pub".

Send the key to the server and place it

scp hogehoge.pub [email protected]:~
ssh [email protected]
ls
#hogehoge_rsa.Confirm that pub exists.
mkdir .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
mv hogehoge_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
