Re: [PLUG] scp help

Also, "IdentiyFile" looks like a typo.

BTW, if you want an easy way to automatically push a public key to
a server, creating the public key from the private key if necessary,
creating a new public/private key pair if necessary, etc., see my
script:
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm#script_authorize_ssh_key

It does it all automatically.

Enjoy!
