# Set public/private key permissions

    # Octal form
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

    # Equivalent literal form
    chmod u=rw,go= ~/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

    # Optional: make public key readable
    chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # chmod a=r,u+w ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

    # Set directory permissions
    chmod 700 ~/.ssh # chmod u=rwx,go= ~/.ssh

    # Legend for literal form
    # +: allow       -: deny         =: reset and allow
    # u: user        r: read
    # g: group       w: write
    # o: others      x: execute
