I tried ssh-copy-id but I get errors:
Password: ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker. ^ I believe MOS doesn't support that command.
How can I ssh using my keys instead of always using the password?

You're right, MOS doesn’t support ssh-copy-id or interactive shell commands in the same way. Instead, you typically manually add your public SSH key to the correct location.
Login as you do now with the password and then:
- Create the
.sshdirectory under the user you login as and set permissions.mkdir -p ~/.sshfollowed bychmod 700 ~/.ssh. - Manually add your public key to the authorized_keys file in the above directory. Example:
/home/admin/.ssh/authorized_keysor/home/<username>/.ssh/authorized_keys. Simply edit the file withvilike:vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keysand paste the key text followed by saving (type:wq- write and quit). - Set the correct permissions:
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
Now you should be able to login.
Just make sure you set the permissions correctly.
~/.ssh is 700~/.ssh/authorized_keys is 600
