how to use ssh key
Good Day,
I have ssh key which I use with putty. I need to use it with plain old shell. How do I do that? Do we add key name/location in ssh command? like #ssh me@192.168.22.22 mykey or some thing? Thanks. |

Thank you chris,
I read the instructions. My situation is that server already has pub key. I log into server using putty. Now I need to use shell/terminal. Where do I put my private key so shell/terminal could use it while accessing servers. Thanks. |
i don't follow what you mean by letting the shell use it..? how else are you using ssh if not a shell?

I am using putty. Its a window like thing. It has browse function for private key. you could save it and its used upon access to servers.
Now I need terminal to get access to servers. My pub key wasn't created on my local machine so I can't use #ssh-keygen -t dsa or #cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@server "cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" Am I making any sense? I have the private key send to me via e mail. As I said I have used it in putty. Now I need to use via plain/old linux terminal/shell. Thanks. |

I think he's saying he used to have an MS box, using putty+ssh key to login to server.
Now he wants to use the same key to login to same server, but from a different Linux client box. (See email comment) |
