Get ssh-copy-id in Mac OS X

There’s a very convenient shell script bundled with some distributions of OpenSSH called ssh-copy-id. It seems not to be the case with Leopard’s SSH.

In order to get it, we can simply check it out of a SVN repository. Execute this two commands:

sudo curl "http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/cvsweb/openssh/contrib/ssh-copy-id?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain" -o /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id

And you’re done!
