Solved SSH-Copy-ID for accessing Linux Servers from Windows
-
Okay, so I know how to do this from linux to linux, and I can view the public cert and manually copy that into my Windows Authorized keys, but that seems like a hoaky way to go about this.
How can I setup cert access to my linux servers from my Windows workstation so I don't need to use passwords?

Okay so figured it out with this guide.
From Windows administrative Powershell
ssh-keygen
type C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh user@linuxserver 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'Exit administrative Powershell
Open Powershell
ssh user@linuxserverLogged in.

I use Git Bash on Windows as my jumping off point. This has the ssh-copy-id, as well as most other tools, available.
If all of your keys are already on your servers, you can use something like PuTTy or MobaXterm (still PuTTy) to connect using your private key.
