scp examples:

• Copy a personal SSH public key to the dot-ssh/authorized_keys file.
  

  NOTE: this allows future scp and sftp commands to connect without prompting for your VSKEY password.

     
     $ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub  {vss.username}@vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca:dot-ssh/authorized_keys
     The authenticity of host 'vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca (xx.yy.zz.aa)' can't be established.
       ...
     No matching host key fingerprint found in DNS.
     Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
