[solved] How get sshfs to not ask for password?

[Uggla]

Hi!

I've setup a public dsa key and when I use sshfs from another distro I don't have to type a password. Why is sshfs on PCLOS asking for password and how can I get rid of it?

i have never used sshfs but i know ssh first attempt to authenticate a connection using public/private key authentication and then using password when the first one fail.

Does it still ask you for a password when you just connect to the server? with something like this from the client "ssh remote_user@server_address"

ssh asking for a password usually means your private/public key setup is not working correctly somewhere. Check again and make sure the user on client computer who wants to make a connection does so with a correct private key and the corresponding public key is on the correct account on the server's authorized key file

I found it! The files in ~/.ssh had wrong permissions, chmod 700 fixed it.
