Creating KeyPair using wodsftp.net (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)

by hit_arc, Wednesday, June 04, 2008, 10:50 (6017 days ago)

Hi,

I am using your wodsftp component. I need to generate key pair for connecting to a server.

I am using the following code

String Filename = c:\Keys\secretkey.rsa ;
String Password = secret_password ;
KeyManager km = new KeyManager();
try
{
km.Load(Filename, Password);
}
catch (Exception)
{
km.Generate(SSHKeyTypes.RSAKey);
km.Save(SSHKeyTypes.RSAKey, Filename, Password);
}

But how do i generate public key thorugh this code as i am able to generate and save only private key in this code.

Regards

Hi hit_arc,

Public key is generated when Generate method is used. You should just export the PublicKeyOpenSSH property to a file, and you're done.

Something like this:

[code]string publicKey = KM.PublicKeyOpenSSH(WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography.SSHKeyTypes.RSAKey);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@ C:publickey.txt , publicKey);[/code]

Can you try something like that?

Damba

Hi Damba,

Thanks for replying, well i need the public key to be sent to the people who are monitoring the server. So that i can access that server through the private key authentication. Will the key generated from above method will work in that senerio as it will just save the content of public key in that particular file.

hit_arc,

Yes, ofcourse. When you call the Generate method, both public and his appropriate private key are generated. I showed you how to export Public key in OpenSSH format, since that's the most widely used.

The public key exported this way and copied to the server should work with appropriate PrivateKey (exported with Save method).

You can also try using our free application from here: http://www.weonlydo.com/Samples/KeyManager.NET.zip

This application uses our wodKeyManager.dll for generating, exporting, etc.

Hope I helped.

Regards,
Damba
