You mentioned that you have “the ssh key made”, I’m assuming that you copied your public key into the _~/.ssh/authorized\_keys_ files at your remote?

What happens when you do a regular ssh? Do you still get prompted for a password or not?

The remote .ssh folder usually contains files similar to the ones below:

> ~/.ssh$ ls -a  
> . … authorized\_keys id\_rsa id\_rsa.pub known\_hosts
