How to download files via SFTP without entering password?












0















I can SFTP into my VM and see these files



enter image description here



If I ran this command in my Desktop : /Users/john/Desktop



sftp -r john@45.88.88.57:/backup/john/2019-03-11-15-28-31/ ~/Desktop/john


I will get prompt to enter the password



enter image description here



Then, It will download all the files to my desktop.



enter image description here



I have root access and already added the rsa.pub of my Mac OS X key into the authorized_keys in ~/.ssh in my VM already.



How do I avoid entering the password each time I download?
