  HostName <myhost>
  User <remoteuser>
  Port 22
  PreferredAuthentications publickey
  IdentityFile "/Users/<localuser>/.ssh/keys/<myhost>_rsa"

Host <myhost>
  HostName <myhost>
  User <remoteuser>
  Port 22
  PreferredAuthentications publickey
  IdentityFile "<path_to_your_private_key>"

ssh-keygen -q -b 4096 -P "" -f <path_to_your_private_key> -t rsa

[anoushkrit]

ssh-copy-id -i "<path_to_public_key_generated_by_keygen.pub>" <host_name>@<host_ip>

[anoushkrit]

chmod 600 <path_to_private_key> chmod 644 <path_to_public_key>

ssh <remoteuser>@<myhost> should run smoothly and without password
