.SH NAME
-ssh-copy-id \- install your identity.pub in a remote machine's authorized_keys
+ssh-copy-id \- install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]]
.I "[user@]machine"
If the
.B -i
option is given then the identity file (defaults to
-.BR ~/.ssh/identity.pub )
+.BR ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub )
is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
.BR ssh-agent .
Otherwise, if this:
produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity
file. Once it has one or more fingerprints (by whatever means) it
uses ssh to append them to
-.B ~/.ssh/authorised_keys
+.B ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory, if necessary)
