SSH-COPY-ID(1)		  BSD 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 pub‐
	     lic 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 speci‐
	     fied multiple times.

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

     -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.
