SSH Key Issue #157

Closed Turtle-Boi closed 2 years ago

Turtle-Boi commented 2 years ago

Whenever I try to set up a connection using SSH key as authentication instead of password, I get an error and notice a missing feature.

1) If I try to turn on a connection from my PC to my server using an SSH key, it will always say "Invalid user name" 2) When I add my .ppk file for my SSH keys, it doesn't as for a passphrase even though I have one set up. This may be whats causing the error.

I need help getting this fixed because without my SSH key login I can't login as root.

As far as I know PPK keys are used in PuTTY and it's not compatible with OpenSSH Client. Try using a RSA key instead. Remember that this program doesn't support password protected keys.

Any plans on ever supporting password protected keys? Is there a workaround?

Not at the moment, sorry
