Yeah, as others have suggested, this error seems to mean that ssh-agent is installed but its service (on windows) hasn’t been started. You can check this by running in Windows PowerShell: > Get-Service ssh-agent And then check the output of status is not running. Status Name DisplayName —— —- ———– Stopped ssh-agent OpenSSH Authentication Agent … Read more
To cross compile openSHH for ARM (in my case a mini2440) I did following: Install arm cross compiler – (eg. what is arm-linux-gcc and how to install this in ubuntu) Download: Zlib OpenSSL OpenSSH Build Zlib: cd zlib-1.2.7 CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure –prefix=$HOME/zlibArm make make install Build OpenSSL: export cross=arm-linux-gnueabi- cd openssl-1.0.1c ./Configure dist –prefix=$HOME/opensslArm make CC=”${cross}gcc” … Read more
Following are setup steps for OpenSSH shipped with Windows 10 v.1803 (April 2018 update. See comments to this post, it might not work with 1809). Server setup (elevated powershell): Install OpenSSH server: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0. Start agent and sshd services: Start-Service ssh-agent; Start-Service sshd (this will generate host keys and default configuration automatically in … Read more
The key format used by ssh is defined in the RFC #4253. The format for RSA public key is the following : string “ssh-rsa” mpint e /* key public exponent */ mpint n /* key modulus */ All data type encoding is defined in the section #5 of RFC #4251. string and mpint (multiple precision … Read more
No need to compile stuff. You can do the same with ssh-keygen: ssh-keygen -f pub1key.pub -i will read the public key in openssl format from pub1key.pub and output it in OpenSSH format. Note: In some cases you will need to specify the input format: ssh-keygen -f pub1key.pub -i -mPKCS8 From the ssh-keygen docs (From man … Read more
Indeed, the problem is that you close the SSH connection. As the remote process is not detached from the terminal, closing the terminal terminates the process. On Linux servers, you can use nohup. I do not know what is (if there is) a Windows equivalent. Anyway, it seems that you do not need to close … Read more
No tweaks needed. Just make TortoiseGit point to the same ssh client used by git itself, see the screenshot: This should be C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe in latest version of Git as mentioned by Aleksey Kontsevich in the comments.
You have an OpenSSH format key and want a PEM format key. It is not intuitive to me, but the suggested way to convert is by changing the password for the key and writing it in a different format at the same time. The command looks like this: ssh-keygen -p -N “” -m pem -f … Read more
Short answer: $ ssh-keygen -p This will then prompt you to enter the keyfile location, the old passphrase, and the new passphrase (which can be left blank to have no passphrase). If you would like to do it all on one line without prompts do: $ ssh-keygen -p [-P old_passphrase] [-N new_passphrase] [-f keyfile] Important: … Read more
From my .ssh/config: Host myshortname realname.example.com HostName realname.example.com IdentityFile ~/.ssh/realname_rsa # private key for realname User remoteusername Host myother realname2.example.org HostName realname2.example.org IdentityFile ~/.ssh/realname2_rsa # different private key for realname2 User remoteusername Then you can use the following to connect: ssh myshortname ssh myother And so on.
