Install Parallels Tools on CentOS for share folders

Source: http://tp69.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/parallels-tools-centos-server/
Issue: CentOS doesn't automatically mount it by default.
Solution: Mount it manually. Make sure your network connection is good in advance.

mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/
cd /mnt
./install


Once done, restart the CentOS and the share folders will be automatically mounted on /media/psf

Login to remote server with private key

1. Generate private/public keys
   ssh-keygen -t rsa

2. Upload the public key (id_rsa.pub) to remote server
   scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub howard@remoteServer:~/.ssh/
   or
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh howard@remoteServer "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" 

3. Login to remote server and append the key
   ssh howard@remoteServer
   mkdir .ssh
   chmod 700 .ssh
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
   chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
   rm -rf id_rsa.pub

4. It's done!
