Tired of typing your passwords all the time?

Check out this excellent guide on how to set up SSH keys on your web server to automate logins from your SSH client.

I now only get prompted for a single password when I start up my machine in the morning, and the rest of the day is spent is password-free bliss as I connect to various different servers using either PuTTY or WinSCP.
