3. Generate an SSH key pair for this machine
Typically, we generate an SSH key pair for one computer, named id_rsa, and submit it to several different websites/servers.
When I configured , I had already generated an SSH key pair, which was stored in C:\Users\账户名\.sshthe directory , as shown in the following figure:
Check it on your computer, if the SSH key pair already exists, you can use it directly, just skip this step; if the SSH key pair does not exist, execute the following command to generate the SSH key pair:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "本机标识"
The in the above command -Cjust adds a comment to the generated key pair. It is recommended to fill in the content related to this machine. For specific reasons, refer to this article: https://www.jianshu.com/p/f3020c04d966
The generated SSH key pair is stored in C:\Users\账户名\.sshthe directory , as shown in the following figure:
4. Copy the public key to Ubuntu
First check whether ~/.ssh/authorized_keysthe file :
If ~/.ssh/authorized_keysit exists , copy the contents of the id_rsa.pub public key to authorized_keys. Open id_rsa.pub with Notepad, copy the contents to the clipboard, and then paste them into authorized_keys through the Xshell terminal.
If ~/.ssh/authorized_keysit does not exist, execute the following command to create it, and then copy the contents of the id_rsa.pub public key to authorized_keys after creation.
cd ~
mkdir .ssh
cd .ssh
touch authorized_keys
To ensure a successful connection, please ensure that the following file permissions are correct:
