Andy-B-MacBook: l.admin$ brew install sshpass Error: No available formula with the name 'sshpass' We won't add sshpass because it makes it too easy for novice SSH users to ruin SSH's security. Thus, the answer to do the curl / configure / install worked great for me on Mac. @Novellizator Both Mac and Linux have ssh available out of the box. No need for a separate package like you need on Windows. – Christopher Schultz Jul 15 '16 at 0:40.
First cool thing that everybody knows already: Mac OSX is based on Unix so you get ssh out of the box.
Install Ssh For Mac 10.10
Second cool thing you may not know: OS X 10.5 actually also comes with an ssh key agent (ssh-agent). That means that, without any additional software (like PuTTY Agent on Windows...), Mac OSX can actually load an encrypted private key into memory and remember it for all subsequent connections...
Third cool thing that almost seems too good to be true: ssh-agent can store the passwords of the encrypted keys into your keychain. Than means that you have to tell it once to remember the decryption password for your key(s) like this:
ssh-add -K .ssh/id_whatever_your_rivate_key_is

And next time you log into your mac and try to ssh somewhere, your private key will be loaded automagically (as long as your keychain is unlocked of course).
