I have the SSH keys created, but the problem is not creating the SSH; those I have which include the two _rsa keys.  The problem is how to prevent from being asked for the SSH password, each time I attempt to login by means of SSH ?

Hi,

You can use ssh-copy-id, which does all the steps involved with setting up authentication keys for you.

Please refer the following for other methods about it:
