Assume I want to open an SSH connection from Linux to a remote computer.
How can I use local pub/priv key files as parameters for authentication in this command?
Remote computer supports ssh key files.
Again: I do not want to use user/password for this but generated key files.

You need to transfer the public key to the remote computer, either
via a 'normal' user/password login or some other transfer method.
See: 'man ssh-copy-id'

man ssh:
-i identity_file
Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or DSA
authentication is read. The default is ~/.ssh/identity for protocol
version 1, and ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa for protocol version 2.
Identity files may also be specified on a per-host basis in the
configuration file. It is possible to have multiple -i options (and
multiple identities specified in configuration files).
i.e. ssh -i /home/joe/private_foo/ssh_id_special root at (no spam) host.com

Peter
(1) generate a keypair using ssh-keygen
(2) copy the *.pub file to the remote computer
(3) append this file to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (or authorized_keys2) file |
