winscp #372

Closed ml-and-ml closed 8 years ago

ml-and-ml commented 8 years ago

Hey I'm new to all of this so please excuse any basic question

I can connect through ssh on command line fine but when I try using a gui based ssh like winscp, I get prompted for a password. Any idea how to get around this?

All logins to Hal are by SSH authorized keys. So somewhere in your SSH command line config you have that key. IIRC WinSCP has a way to also reference that key but I don't use the product. A quick Google comes up with this page perhaps of interest.

got it.

for anyone else who wants to configure a gui ssh:

on winscp in advanced settings under ssh>authentication, load in your private key you will be prompted to convert it into a putty format save the new key and load that in

connection to server will then work
