No ssh-keygen? on 10.8 Mountain Lion?

Hello

I use rsync to sync stuff in my home network with my ubuntu server.


but I found that 10.8's ssh support is not a full featured ssh system

no ssh-keygen no ssh-copy-id


that means I can't create a non-password login system in my script.

only ubuntu can sync my mac but my mac can't sync back to ubuntu. 😟


any 3rd party ssh for 10.8 yet?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

Not sure what you think you mean by "third-party SSH"... Apple's SSH is the same OpenSSH everyone else uses.


And the binaries you complain are not present... most certainly are.


Since you say "script"... I assume you're following some Ubuntu recipie without understanding it. Does it specify some absolute path to the binaries, and you just couldn't be bothered to check? They're in /usr/bin where they're supposed to be.


Don't. Instead, learn how the tools work. The OpenSSH documentation (like everything else from the OpenBSD project) is excellent.
