To setup an SSH connection from A to B using key-pair

step 1, use ssh-keygen on A to generate a key-pair

step 2, copy the content of the public key to B (append to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys)

step 3, try to connect from A using ssh -i path_to_private_key user@B, and enter yes to permenately save host B on A (then it won't ask again)
