SSH-COPY-ID(1)		     General Commands Manual		  SSH-COPY-ID(1)

NAME
     ssh-copy-id -- copy public keys to a remote host

SYNOPSIS
     ssh-copy-id [-lv] [-i keyfile] [-o option] [-p port] [user@]hostname

DESCRIPTION
     The   ssh-copy-id	 utility   copies   public   keys  to  a  remote  host's
     ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file (creating the file and directory, if required).

     The following options are available:

     -i file
	     Copy the public key contained in file.  This option can  be  speci-
	     fied  multiple  times and can be combined with the -l option.  If a
	     private key is specified and a public key is found then the  public
	     key will be used.

     -l      Copy  the keys currently held by ssh-agent(1).  This is the default
	     if the -i option was not specified.

     -o ssh-option
	     Pass this option directly to ssh(1).  This option can be  specified
	     multiple times.

     -p port
	     Connect to the specified port on the remote host instead of the de-
	     fault.

     -v      Pass -v to ssh(1).

     The  remaining arguments are a list of remote hosts to connect to, each one
     optionally qualified by a user name.

EXIT STATUS
     The ssh-copy-id utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
     To send a specific key to multiple hosts:
	   $   ssh-copy-id   -i   /path/to/keyfile.pub	 user@host1   user@host2
	   user@host3

HISTORY
     The  ssh-copy-id utility was written by Eitan Adler <eadler@FreeBSD.org> as
     a drop-in replacement for an existing utility included with OpenSSH.

FreeBSD ports 15.1		February 28, 2014		  SSH-COPY-ID(1)
