• You need to have ssh keys set up so you can get to the other machine without a password prompt
• one easy way to do this is set up the drush command 'pushkey'
  
  • read all about it: https://www.drupal.org/project/drush_extras

  • PUSHKEY
    
        drush pushkey user@host.domain.com
    
    	Creates an ssh public/private key pair in $HOME/.ssh, if
    	one does not already exist, and then pushes the public
    	key to the specified remote account.  The password for the
    	destination account must be entered once to push the
    	key over; after the key has been stored on the remote
    	system, subsequent ssh and remote drush commands may be
    	executed using the public/private key pair for authentication.
    
    	IN DRUSH EXTRAS because is is Linux / openssl-specific.
            

  • install it in your user's drush
    • log in to victoria02

    • drush dl drush_extras

  • use it

    • log in to victoria02
    • drush pushkey nid123@victoria01.library.cornell.edu
    • prompts for password on victoria01 one time
    • now try
      • ssh nid123@victoria01.library.cornell.edu
      • no password prompt, right?

once the ssh keys are set up, you can avoid lots of extra
