=== Public/Private Key Pair ===
This needs to be generated on and used on your '''clientc7host''' machine (i.e. the user/machine you're connecting '''from''').
The private key is the equivalent of a <u>''password''</u> (that it why it is considered to be <u>''private''</u> - only to be used by ''<u>one</u>'' owner).
That is why the private key is stored in the owner's '''~/.ssh/''' directory.
