Hello Everyone, I am using Fedora on my Hp 15 notebook PC, I have a question about using SSH. I know that both SSH key works with private and public keys. when I install and configure SSH. I have to use the password to be connected with the server or a client, but I see in some topics they generate a key. SSH doesn't generate the key automatically?

Thank You

You can generate key pair by using PuTTYgen utility
