   2. Enter the following at the prompt:

      ssh-keygen
      ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <SFTP server userid>@<SFTP server IP
      address>

   ssh <SFTP server userid>@<SFTP server IP address>

7. If you are prompted for a password, the exchange did not work and troubleshooting is required.
