How Do I Create and Use Public Keys with SSH?

⚜️ SSH and SFTP Public Key Authentication requires that you create a public/private key pair. We'll look at how to create, and then use, those keys.

⚜️ SSH and public keys
The easiest approach to creating a public / private key pair is to download and install PuTTY, and then use the PuTTYgen tool. Once you have a key pair, keep the private key secure, and give the public key to the administrator of the server to which you want to connect. Using it is as simple as specifying the location of your private key to the SSH or SFTP tool you’re using.
