Well i figured id make a tutorial just to help expand this forum.
A lot of you people will say this is very easy to do and why did i even post this?
Well this may be easy to you but to others its not
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To start things off what are we doing first of all?
We are going to create a SSH Key for Authentication
Why do we need to create a ssh key for authentication?
Using ssh keys increases your servers security from malicious users
Step 1.
Easy way to get it done with in a matter of seconds
Go to your Website.com:2086
And to the left in the Frame there will be a text called
Manage SSH Keys located in Security
Example Link
http://0.0.0.0:2086/scripts2/sshkeys
Once you are there you will see the text
Generate New Key
You will then click that
you will then see a form stating
Key Name (defaults to id_dsa):
Key Password (blank for none):
Password (Again):
key name is just want you are wanting to call it
key Password is the password you are wanting to use to connect to ssh
and password again is the same pass you typed in Key Password
Then you will specify DSA or RSA and key size
Example
Key Type = DSA
Key size = 1024
After typing in the information provided click Generate New key
your Key has now been added to the public key list what we need to do now is authorize it
Go back to the Manage SSH Manager page
And you will now see your Key Name that you specified when you created the key
Example
William unauthorized Delete key View Key Authorize key
You are going to want to click Authorize Key
After doing so go back to Manage SSH page and then click
Under Private Keys
View/Download keys
Once you done that you will see a lot of information type in your password to convert it to .ppk format .ppk is a extension Putty uses.
You will now see new text copy all of that information go to anywhere on your computer example
C:\
make a new text file call it whatever you want and paste that text inside the .txt file after doing that download putty here
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
save the text file as something.ppk
Open up Putty then click SSH then Auth and under browse go to where you placed the .ppk file and select it
After doing that go back up to Session type in your IP and then port click Open it will then ask you what is your pass for your .ppk file the pass is what you chose when you first created the ssh key
And whola you have just created a SSH key
Hope this helps someone out there Need any help pm me or just reply here
