If you are requesting a new account, paste your public key fileВ id_rsa.pubВ into the account request form and we will install it for you:.

Now you should have the following files (and perhaps more) ls -l.

# Your public key has been saved in /Users/ you/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. It will look something like this: # Your identification has been saved in /Users/ you/.ssh/id_rsa. After you enter a passphrase, youвЂ™ll be given the fingerprint, or id, of yourВ sshВ key. # Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/ YOU/.ssh/id_rsa): ДЈ. We suggest keeping the default settings as they are, so when youвЂ™re prompted to вЂњEnter a file in which to save the keyвЂќ, just press Enter to continue. # Generating public/private rsa key pair.Дў. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C Creates a new ssh key, using the provided email as a label For more information see Working with SSH key passphrases. With Terminal still open, copy and paste the text below.В -CВ adds a comment - you can specify your email and the date.

Pick something you will remember because there is no way to recover a key if you forget the password.ДЎ. This passphrase is important - it should be a strong passphrase (at least 9 characters not all letters or numbers). When creating a key you are prompted for a passphrase to protect your private key.

You can name your keys with your name and their date of creation. To use public key authentication, which is stronger than UNIX passwords, first use вЂњssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096вЂќ to generate a personal 4096-bit privateВ & public key pair. Unix-based systems such as OS X and Linux distributions come with at least the client version of OpenSSH pre-installed. Many of the available commercial applications are actually just clones or wrappers around OpenSSH.

There are several open source and commercialВ sshВ projects available, but OpenSSH, an open source solution, is the most popular.В sshВ is a major and venerable project, dating back into the 1990вЂ™s, with a number of forks. The client is what you will use on your local machine, which allows you to access remote systems running theВ sshВ server. SshВ has two main components: the client and server applications. All data is encrypted whichВ protects it against spoofing, interception, and even intermediate data manipulation on systems you connect through.В Common applications include remote loginВ and remote command execution, but any network serviceВ can be secured withВ ssh. Ssh, or Secure Shell is an encrypted network communication protocol to allow remote login and other network services to operate securely over an unsecured network.
