On your local machine, generate an SSH key pair: ```bash ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 ``` This creates id_rsa (private key) and id_rsa.pub (public key). Copy the contents of id_rsa.pub into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server (you can use ssh-copy-id or upload it via SFTP). Connect to the server locally using: ```bash ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa root@ ``` You will now be able to log in without entering a password.
