If you want to copy your SSH keys to a different machine (so that you need not type your password everytime to login) you just need to do `ssh-copy-id user@remotemachine` and it works like a Charm.

Note that ssh-copy-id just copies your public key to the remote machine.
Yes. And that is what you want. You never want to have your private key leave your machine.
At the risk of self-aggrandizement, I might offer my own adventure.

Keyflips for all!
