As explained in “gitolite: PTY allocation request failed on channel 0”, it is important to do ssh test connection with -T, because some server could abort the transaction entirely if a text-terminal (tty) is requested. -T avoids requesting said terminal, since GitHub has no intention of giving you an interactive secure shell, where you could … Read more
You can ssh directly from the Terminal on Mac, but you need to use a .PEM key rather than the putty .PPK key. You can use PuttyGen on Windows to convert from .PEM to .PPK, I’m not sure about the other way around though. You can also convert the key using putty for Mac via … Read more
No need to compile stuff. You can do the same with ssh-keygen: ssh-keygen -f pub1key.pub -i will read the public key in openssl format from pub1key.pub and output it in OpenSSH format. Note: In some cases you will need to specify the input format: ssh-keygen -f pub1key.pub -i -mPKCS8 From the ssh-keygen docs (From man … Read more
You changed the permissions on the whole directory, which I agree with Splash is a bad idea. If you can remember what the original permissions for the directory are, I would try to set them back to that and then do the following cd ~/.ssh chmod 700 id_rsa inside the .ssh folder. That will set … Read more
First you need to install sshpass. Ubuntu/Debian: apt-get install sshpass Fedora/CentOS: yum install sshpass Arch: pacman -S sshpass Example: sshpass -p “YOUR_PASSWORD” ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no YOUR_USERNAME@SOME_SITE.COM Custom port example: sshpass -p “YOUR_PASSWORD” ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no YOUR_USERNAME@SOME_SITE.COM:2400 Notes: sshpass can also read a password from a file when the -f flag is passed. Using -f prevents … Read more
Yeah, as others have suggested, this error seems to mean that ssh-agent is installed but its service (on windows) hasn’t been started. You can check this by running in Windows PowerShell: > Get-Service ssh-agent And then check the output of status is not running. Status Name DisplayName —— —- ———– Stopped ssh-agent OpenSSH Authentication Agent … Read more
ssh-keygen -y ssh-keygen -y will prompt you for the passphrase (if there is one). If you input the correct passphrase, it will show you the associated public key. If you input the wrong passphrase, it will display load failed. If the key has no passphrase, it will not prompt … Read more
From my .ssh/config: Host myshortname realname.example.com HostName realname.example.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/realname_rsa # private key for realname User remoteusername Host myother realname2.example.org HostName realname2.example.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/realname2_rsa # different private key for realname2 User remoteusername Then you can use the following to connect: ssh myshortname ssh myother And so on.
Short answer: $ ssh-keygen -p This will then prompt you to enter the keyfile location, the old passphrase, and the new passphrase (which can be left blank to have no passphrase). If you would like to do it all on one line without prompts do: $ ssh-keygen -p [-P old_passphrase] [-N new_passphrase] [-f keyfile] Important: … Read more
