This is so much better than the link my professor provided. I rarely comment, but I have to comment on this one just to express how thankful I am. Thanks a lot man!

[AllenAndersonTaylor]

You're the man dude. Thanks so much. I was getting tired of typing my PW every time for my VM.

[TheSteveo]

thanks dude! had a university module on Linux administration and was hitting a brick wall with the SSH stuff as i've never done it before and was not told I had to go into the config file and uncomment certain things for it to work so this explained why that was going wrong for me too haha. Nice and simple and shown everything needed to see how it works. Brilliant thank you!

My god. Finally. I spent the whole day trying to figure this one out. Who could have imagined that after generating the public and private keys with puTTY you need to throw out your public key and get a new one after loading the old private key.. Makes no sense.. but it worked. :)

Bro, , you don't know how much i suffered bcz of this problem at least more than 4 hours by finding solutions on google but nothing helped . and your solution saved me :) Thanks a lot bro, , keep it your amazing work again thanks

Couple of point to note, you don't need sudo to create the authorized_keys file if logged in as user, also you need to chmod the .ssh directory to make it readable by the user only.

Thank so much man!! your explanation save me!

[michalroesler]

Great tutorial. It all worked 4 me just fine. 😎

[yanluisnunezlara]

There we go. Got mine setup. Tested it on my laptop first. I kept adding the auth key and loading the old config to connect and it'd error. Had to load the old preset, add the auth key and then save the preset and connect.

[sarunasmusteikis]

[LouisdeCaumont]

I don't have server, i just want to clone my repo... How to do it ? Or how to do like you at 2:07 ? thanks in advance

[ThriveWithLouise]

everything i do says access denied access denied for password, i then tried to setup an ssh key to login says it refused it. its a fucking nightmare not knowing these technical terms and code, im learning but at the same time still need to build my website, i cant even login right now

[debojitmandal]

That's the problem how do I copy to the server when i cannnot open the server ad i get the promt


No supported authentication methods available(server sent: public key)

[editstudent]

i cant edit that vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

[jorgfaschingbauer]

Why the hell are you using sudo to edit the user's authorized_keys file? Remember: sudo stands for "SUperuser DO", and it executes the command (nano in your case) as ROOT.

[chrs-wltrs]

"server refused our key" :/
plus this guide is pretty difficult to follow unless you're already running linux
correction, this guide is *useless* unless you're trying to connect to a windows machine

[hghpower]

Can I simply add the new key code for another user in the same file within the server? I've tried pasting 2 key codes over there.. but when I try to login it says "server refused our key" :( Can someboduy help?
