Why?¶

  1. SiteGround uses key pairs for SSH authentication purposes, as opposed to plain username and password. More information on SSH keys is available here. You can generate an SSH key pair in Mac OS following these steps: Open up the Terminal by going to Applications - Utilities - Terminal.
  2. I have connected to a server via SFTP using FileZilla and accepted adding the server's SSH key to the key cache in FileZilla. How can I extract this cached key to a keyfile so that may use it through other SFTP applications that require a keyfile be made available? I have not been able to find anything in the FileZilla documentation related to.
  3. All Mac and Linux systems include a command called ssh-keygen that will generate a new key pair. If you're using Windows, you can generate the keys on your server. Just remember to copy your keys to your laptop and delete your private key from the server after you've generated it. To generate an SSH key pair, run the command ssh-keygen.
  4. Sep 14, 2012 Showing the way how to use ssh private keys in FileZilla for SFTP password-less connections. It's aimed to use this feature for Windows oriented users.

Oct 17, 2013  FileZilla has a built-in key management page in the Settings dialog, which allows you to save your Public (SSH) Key and to (securely) automate the process of connecting to a remote server. Prequisite If you have yet to create an SSH key pair, you can.

SSH keys have numerous advantages over passwords

  • Increased security: they are nearly impossible to brute force or guess
  • Ease of management: Need access to a friend’s computer? Just send them yourpublic key. No more creating and changing random passwords.
  • Type less passwords: You can use ssh-agent to cache your key, so you can usessh without typing your password every time
  • Automated scripts: Because you don’t need to type your password every time,its easier to automate tasks that require ssh

How?¶

Linux/OS X (Short Version)¶

  • Run this command:

  • Accept the default location, and enter a secure passphrase that you (and onlyyou) will remember.

  • Email us the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Linux/OS X (Detailed)¶

  • Use the ssh-keygen utility to create your key. For a 2048 bit RSA key do:

For increased security you can make an even larger key with the -b option. Forexample, for 4096 bits do:

Roxio game capture product key generator. Roxio Game Capture HD Pro is high quality video capture software that is used in combination with a hardware game capture card, which lets you capture gaming footage in HD (up to 1080 30p/1080 60i), with HDMI or Component input and output.Roxio Game Capture HD Pro lets you enjoy seamless gameplay with no lag, delays or interruption.

The OSL recommends using RSA over DSA because DSA keys are required to be only1024 bits.

  • When prompted, you can press Enter to use the default location(/home/your_username/.ssh/id_rsa on Linux, or/Users/your_username/.ssh/id_rsa on Mac) if you don’t already have a keyinstalled, or specify a custom location if you are creating a second key (orjust want to for whatever reason).
  • Enter a passphrase at the prompt. All people connecting to OSL servers mustuse a passphrase. This is just a password used to unlock your key. Ifsomeone else gets a copy of your private key they will be able to log in asyou on any account that uses that key, unless you specify a passphrase. If youspecify a passphrase they would need to know both your private key andyour passphrase to log in as you.
  • After you re-enter your passphrase, ssh-keygen may print a little picturerepresenting your key ((you don’t need to worry about this now, but it ismeant as an easily recognizeable fingerprint of your key, so you could know ifit is changed without your knowledge - but it doesn’t seem to be widely used))then exit.
  • Your private key should now be in the location you specified, and your publickey will be at that same location but with ‘.pub’ tacked onto the filename.

Note

If you are creating this key for use with an OSL SSH account, copy and pastethe public key into your ticket. If we didn’t ask you for a public key but youwant one added to your account email it to support@osuosl.org, being sure tospecify who you are and what project(s) you are associated with.

  • Or, to use the public key on a computer under your control, add it to~/.ssh/authorized_keys (you can specify multiple public keys, one perline).
  • Never share your private key file, only the public key file.

  • In the “Key” section choose SSH-2 RSA and press Generate.
  • Move your mouse randomly in the small screen in order to generate the keypairs.
  • Enter a key comment, which will identify the key (useful when you use severalSSH keys).
  • Type in the passphrase and confirm it. The passphrase is used to protect yourkey. You will be asked for it when you connect via SSH.
  • Click “Save private key” to save your private key.
  • Click “Save public key” to save your public key.
