Any Linux experts out there to help with an easy question?
My Salamander instance is not working and I’m going to destroy it. I want to ssh in to rescue my work and I’m having trouble. Salamander has a link to create keys but I find it’s not working for me (long wait, get an error, never creates the keys).
I am running Windows 10. I have installed Ubutntu and I have read countless tutorials.
I’ve used ssh-keygen
to create a key in my home computer. Here is the file in the default directory .ssh
:
I have logged into Salamander and opened a terminal there. I have taken the user ID and IP from the control panel:
I then attempted to use ssh-copy-id
to place the public key from my home compter onto the Salamander terminal. I get a permission denied error, and it appears that it is because it lacks the public key:
Any help with what I am doing wrong? Is the another way to get the public key into the authorized_keys
file? (I have read it can be done with a text editor but I don’t know how to do that in Linux).
Also, assuming I get it installed, I will have to login from the terminal to my home computer. What is the syntax that I enter into the terminal. Is it:
{user_name}@{home IP address}
Where user_name is the part before the ‘@’ symbol in my home Ubuntu terminal.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
