Generate Ssh Key For Sourcetree
An SSH Key allows you to log into your server without needing a password. SSH Keys can be automatically added to servers during the installation process.
Creating an SSH key on Windows
The simplest way to create SSH key on Windows is to use PuTTYgen. /generating-addresses-from-one-xpub-key-bitcoin.html.
- Download and run PuTTYgen.
- Click the 'Generate' button.
- For additional security, you can enter a key passphrase. This will be required to use the SSH key, and will prevent someone with access to your key file from using the key.
- Once the key has been generated, click 'Save Private Key'. Make sure you save this somewhere safe, as it is not possible to recover this file if it gets lost
- Select all of the text in the 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH
authorized_keys
file'. This is what you would need to enter into the control panel to use the SSH key.
Creating an SSH key on Linux
The tools to create and use SSH are standard, and should be present on most Linux distributions. With the following commands, you can generate ssh key.
- Run:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
. For a more secure 4096-bit key, run:ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
- Press enter when asked where you want to save the key (this will use the default location).
- Enter a passphrase for your key.
- Run
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
- this will give you the key in the proper format to paste into the control panel. - Make sure you backup the
~/.ssh/id_rsa
file. This cannot be recovered if it is lost.
