On the client side, the ~/.ssh/known_hosts
file contains the public host keys that OpenSSH has obtained
from SSH servers. OpenSSH adds an entry for each new server to
which a user connects.
In addition, the ~/.ssh directory usually
contains one of the following pairs of key files:
-
id_dsaandid_dsa.pub Contain a user's SSH2 DSA private and public keys.
-
id_rsaandid_rsa.pub Contains a user's SSH2 RSA private and public keys. SSH2 RSA is most commonly used key-pair type.
-
identityandidentity.pub Contains a user's SSH1 RSA private and public keys.
The private key file can be readable and writable by the user but must not be accessible to other users.
The optional config file contains client
configuration settings.
A config file can be readable and
writable by the user but must not be accessible to other
users.
