Example of logging in w/ a public key (General questions)
Hi
I am trying to log into a server w/ a 2048 DSA key generated by putty. Not having a lot of luck.
I have been given an account but told that the account password is disabled.
First, the key has a passphrase. I am not sure where to put this using wodSSH.
Second, wodSSH doesnt seem to like the ppk private key file that putty generates. I did some playing around w/ puttygen and found the export. does wodSSH want to use the .PEM format? it loads this file but I am not getting connected.
I am using the public key example that came in the download. The only changes I made are that I hardcoded the path to the server and my public key in the text boxes so I could cycle tests quickly and not worry about finger farts.
When I try to connect, it says
I have sent the SSH server's admin some sample keys, one w/ a pass phrase and one without. He says he can connect fine w/ both.
I am new to SSH. If there is a manual somewhere that I should read just let me know.
