To make controlling which keys are used for which different servers, that is where the ~/.ssh/config file comes in. Never mix the same email address between your bank and your facebook/google/whatever social accounts, for example.

You can go crazy and use different keys for different systems sorta how we all use different email addresses for different levels of security with social networks or banks or online stores. Every client system should have a unique key to the servers. If you are on a different system, then use the ssh-keygen on that box to make a new key. If you use ssh-agent, then the key will be unlocked for the configured timeout period, sorta like sudo does. When you use ssh then the key will be accessed and you should be prompted for the passphrase to unlock it.

Ssh-based tools know how to access ssh keys. New devices and servers should all support better keys and ciphers. I'd only use those if I was connecting to a 5+ yr old router. Using plain RSA ssh keys is the lowest common denominator.

You should be able to install the key yourself. If I was your server admin, I would ignore any ssh keys provided unless I specifically requested it. But the theory and practice change over time, especially if you use default settings like you did. With just the public key, in theory, nobody can work backwards. IMHO, no keys should ever be placed into git or github. many many thanks for the great support you offer here. Setting up the ssh-client filezilla - with ssh-keyītw. Well i think that i have to rethink the creation process - your ideas are food for thoughts.+ I will digg deeper into this question - i will come back and report all the findings. Well if i cannot use that kind of key - i (also) have to contact the serveradmin which i have sent the public part of the key (pair) There i have had the option to create a key pair. Well - i used kgpg - the kde-gui - running in manjaro-linux I used the kgpg tool to create the key pair. asc? That is pretty unusual for an SSH key. Ssh is picky about file and directory permissions. If you did it manually, the permissions and locations are likely to be off. I'm assuming you used ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id for the first two steps. I've never used filezilla, but almost any standard Linux file manager will work with the ssh keys in the default locations and honor Re: setting up the ssh-client filezilla - with ssh-key Then, choose the server you wish to connect.- first of all - many many thanks for the quick reply.

In this demonstration, we are using a free third-party tool called FileZilla, which is available on Windows and macOS, but you can also use any other client. You need an SFTP client to connect to your server remotely. Alternatively, you can also use the built-in SSH Terminal of Cloudways Platform. If you are using Microsoft Windows you will either need to enable WLS (Windows Linux Subsystem) or else use a free third-party tool such as PuTTY. Usually, team members are provided with application credentials by the website owner.

There are two types of credentials ( Master credentials and Application credentials) on the Cloudways Platform that you can use to connect to your application. Please note that the Master user has SSH access enabled by default however, you need to manually enable SSH access for the application user(s). We will help you locate this information on your Cloudways Platform in the next steps. Public IP address (also known as Server IP) To connect to your server or application using SSH, you will need the following: How to Connect to Your Application Using SSH/SFTP Transferred data is encrypted, so it is not sent in clear text. We highly recommend using SFTP for file transferring because: It is a file transfer protocol such as FTP yet operates over a secure network protocol like SSH. SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol (also known as SSH File Transfer Protocol).

You can also run additional tools such as Composer, Git, WP-CLI for WordPress, and database queries using SSH. This means that any device in the middle is unable to decipher the communication because only your end device/server is able to decrypt the information exchange. Secure Shell provides strong authentication and encrypted data communications between two computers or servers connecting over an open network such as the internet.
