This video may have saved my computer from me throwing it at the wall in a fit of rage as I’m having trouble accessing my vps. Thanks for the great video
In Windows we use the terminal (cmd) or PowerShell and we don't need Putty at all. It's 2 years or so, since Windows natively supports ssh connections through PowerShell.
Windows 10 and 11 do include ssh installed by default. Just open cmd or powershell and type ssh. The config files are located under C:\Users\\.ssh. No need to use Putty anymore.
Windows 10 has a built in option to install the OpenSSH client from Windows Apps and Features. It would be cool to show using that client as it is accessible from the Windows cli and ssh-keygen works from there as well - storing it in the Windows equivalent user/home folder/.ssh structure. However, it doesn't seem to work from there when using the ssh connection - unless I'm setting it up wrong - but that's why it would be nice to see a video using this method and going through setup - using the native Openssh tools.
Jay, this was very helpful to me in getting RSYNC working to move data from Linux to Linux. I looked at lots of other video and written tutorials, got confused enough to hit lots of subtle roadblocks along the way. What you prove here is this topic is not that complex if you stay focused on the essentials.
I have ssh installed on windows (I can just use it in the terminal) and I can't remember ever having to install it so windows users: maybe you don't even have to install it. Just check by typing ssh into the command prompt and if it gives no error, it is installed.
To anyone fairly new like me, don't forget to leave the id_ at the start of the filename. Pretty sure that's probably something I was supposed to know but it just caused me an hour or two of headache before realizing... If it isn't common knowledge or something you're supposed to do, it at the very least appears to be default behavior with Windows' OpenSSH implementation. It appears like it won't try user generated keys upon connecting unless you have id_ at the start of the filename.
Thanks for the forecast! 📊 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷♀️
I followed these steps but for whatever reason the authotized_keys wasn't generated (on the remote host) and I was still prompted for pw when ssh from local
I have question on the ssh key pairs . I run the key Gen by root account then put the public key to target server logon as another account home directory. May I know if I logon to target server with non root account with no password ?
I followed the advice but it hasn't worked :/ when I try and ssh in it still asks for my password. i can see the public key in the authorized keys file. Do I need to make changes to ssh_config or something?
I managed to get things working by redoing the ssh-keygen process without specifying a file when prompted with "Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa)" I noticed when doing ssh -v user@host, there were a number of lines of the form Will attempt key: /home/george/.ssh/id_rsa Will attempt key: /home/george/.ssh/id_ecdsa ... but did not check the key I had made. I assume there's some config file somewhere which tells it what keys to check - and you'd have to add a new entry if you save your key in an unusual place. it's so easy to trip up :)
Jay, not sure where I'm going wrong but whenever I try to login to my linode server, the passwood is not recognized. I've repeated your process and re-created the linode using the same password but I'm still refused access. Am using Fedora 35 as my desktop, could it be an SElinux thing?
You're doing a fantastic job! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Hi!!!! Im following this steps perfectly (to conect two ubuntu docker containers) and it keeps asking me for the password... why could this be? thanks in advance for any help!!!!
Very good video, thanks you. Just wondering, if I followed your instructions and uploaded my public key to a server does that mean anyone with access to that public key can access that same server?
No, because the private key is stored on the client machine. You created the key pair on your machine and then added just the public key to the server (using the real password for the server). So you still need to know the login credentials for the server to set up the key pair for the first time. Even if someone else had the public key it would be useless to them.
I do have a number of Raspberry Pi devices on my home network plus manage an Ubuntu system remotely for a friend. Initially I confused myself a wee bit by actually naming the private and public keys but strangely it all worked fine, seems the actual name of the file is irrelevant, just the contents important.
Hi great video, but I'd like to see tutorial with Ed25519. Today, the RSA is the most widely used public-key algorithm for SSH key. But compared to Ed25519, it’s slower and even considered not safe if it’s generated with the key smaller than 2048-bit length.

hi, thanks a lot for your useful TV 👍 i've watched several of you're videos and i want to thank you for the help you're providing to the rookie i am 😄 it's my fist message here to ask for the correct command when using a another user, if wanting to do this for several users, and use a different port than 22 (which is 'the wrong way to do it' ; )
You shouldn't show your public key just like you shouldn't show your password. If someone knows your IP and username, then the public key is akin to a password (unless you also use a password, then they can attempt to brute force that).
9:49 BOMM hacker in. thats easy it is no security at all. hacker send public key and he get in. only need user pand password to login. yes its that easy. more easy bruteforce password bcoz there is no 3 attept wait 24 hour or contact admin. so you can try try try root password. thats easy. if you get password and it wont let log in. send public key and BOOM. i not get lol why user is one who send public key when server should send LOL
Hello, I am getting this error so not able to save public key- please help me. Here is message- "Saving key "/home/user1/.ssh/id_rsa" failed: Not a directory"
Underrated tutorial on how SSH certs work in relation to client / server and multiple OSs. Cheers!
Excellent, well done, to the point and no set of fluff...
This video may have saved my computer from me throwing it at the wall in a fit of rage as I’m having trouble accessing my vps. Thanks for the great video
On Windows cmd you can use ssh by default!
I noticed that it doesn't have the cool shortcuts that Linux does though. For example ssh-copy-id which is pretty annoying.
Just what I needed thank you. Really clear and easy to follow along. Great content.

hi jay, great video, this help me for my job. thakns from colombia. your are my favorite instructor in akamai.
The best explanation for ssh! Many thanks!
thank you very much; I knew about this but never remember the exact sequence of actions; now I did it following your video and it works like a dream
This is exactly a good example of a tutorial, thanks!
This was awesome - thanks! So clear and easy!
great explanation. I saw others tutorials but this made everything snap into place

but modern windows does have an ssh client by default.... no putty needed
Really clear and to the point! Thank you!

Amazing video, helped me a lot, now I Know the usage of the ssh keys, thank you so much
Thank you , You made it very clear and straight to the point
This was invaluable when setting up my Kali ssh server. Thanks. :)
Hello,
Please what command prompt application did you use to input the commands?
To anyone fairly new like me, don't forget to leave the id_ at the start of the filename. Pretty sure that's probably something I was supposed to know but it just caused me an hour or two of headache before realizing...

Bada bing! Thank you.
Thanks! This helped me with what I needed and you explained it very clear! 10 stars! :)
Very comprehensive tutorial

ty for the outstanding clarification on how to do this
man you're the best
Great video! Thank you so much.
Amazing video 5 stars!
I followed these steps but for whatever reason the authotized_keys wasn't generated (on the remote host)
and I was still prompted for pw when ssh from local
thank you, that was very helpful.
Wait, if you add Public Key auth, why dose the server still accept password auth from the client? Isn't the point to disallow Password authentication?
I have question on the ssh key pairs . I run the key Gen by root account then put the public key to target server logon as another account home directory. May I know if I logon to target server with non root account with no password ?
i have question pls : why we put private key in putty while we usually send only public key
Thank you, super easy to make it on windows
Thank u soooo much. Very helpful
I followed the advice but it hasn't worked :/ when I try and ssh in it still asks for my password. i can see the public key in the authorized keys file. Do I need to make changes to ssh_config or something?
I managed to get things working by redoing the ssh-keygen process without specifying a file when prompted with "Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa)"
I noticed when doing ssh -v user@host, there were a number of lines of the form
Will attempt key: /home/george/.ssh/id_rsa
Will attempt key: /home/george/.ssh/id_ecdsa
...
but did not check the key I had made. I assume there's some config file somewhere which tells it what keys to check - and you'd have to add a new entry if you save your key in an unusual place.
it's so easy to trip up :)
Thank you for doing this for noob like me!
instruction clear and on point
Jay, not sure where I'm going wrong but whenever I try to login to my linode server, the passwood is not recognized. I've repeated your process and re-created the linode using the same password but I'm still refused access. Am using Fedora 35 as my desktop, could it be an SElinux thing?
Tried it on EndeavourOS and it worked.....thanks!
I can always rely on Jay to save me from myself lol, I set up an SSH key before, forgot about it, now here i am again months later lol
Great tutorial for openssh for windows 10 pro. Do you have a tutorial for ssh in windows when creating an OpenVPN linode server? Thanks.

Hi!!!! Im following this steps perfectly (to conect two ubuntu docker containers) and it keeps asking me for the password... why could this be? thanks in advance for any help!!!!
great video and explanation...thank you
very good tutorial. thanks.
If I want to use SSH for a server and for GitHub, do I generate two new keys for each service or is it common to reuse the existing one?
How to copy a key from one client to another when two machines log into one?
please, tell why using password is 'wrong' ..
Great explanation. Is there a video on password-less ssh from Linux to Windows
Clear ! thank you
Thank you very much!
Very good video, thanks you.

No, because the private key is stored on the client machine. You created the key pair on your machine and then added just the public key to the server (using the real password for the server). So you still need to know the login credentials for the server to set up the key pair for the first time. Even if someone else had the public key it would be useless to them.
Mine got "Server refused our key" though I followed eveything.
Thanks a lot man
Thx from Ukraine!

awesome video, please how do i access my private key?
On windows you can use WSL without the need for pUTTY from windows 10 uowards.
How to recover access to the server if the private key is lost? Does linode have "rescue" mode?
You can launch a LISH console and login with regular credentials.
Haze Anderson is right, here is a guide on using the LISH console for more information www.linode.com/docs/guides/using-the-linode-shell-lish/#use-a-web-browser
@@AkamaiDeveloper but the point is we will be disabling password access, right?
@@True_Muslim_Momin Yes, you will still however be able to login via Lish as a last resort.
@@AkamaiDeveloper so Lish works even with the password access disable?
Windows does have inbuilt ssh, using powershell
Can you make a video of using yubikeys to ssh into servers please

permission denied (publickey)
