trouble with ssh #14

Open ifuchs opened 4 years ago

ifuchs commented 4 years ago

I tried unsuccessfully to run ssh on a local host. It says "The authenticity of host xxx can't be established" and " Permanently added key for xxx to known hosts". But then it says "No keys found in directory .../.ssh." It has created a file named known_hosts but ther eis no dir called .ssh. I tried creating .ssh and moving the known_hosts file there but the result is the same. Does ssh work?

Yes, it does work, but the authentification method is through keys, so you must have your private key in ~/Documents/.shh/ and the public key in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the host machine.

You can generate keys with ssh-keygen, or copy them.

Generating keys on the iPad seems to freeze as soon as you accept the name.

Oh. I see that one. It will be fixed in the next version.
