How to add a SSH key?

Open a terminal and use the ssh-keygen command with the -C flag to create a new SSH key pair. Replace the following: KEY_FILENAME : the name for your SSH key file. For example, a filename of my-ssh-key generates a private key file named my-ssh-key and a public key file named my-ssh-key.

Where do I put public key on SSH server?

The contents of your public key (\. ssh\id_ed25519. pub) needs to be placed on the server into a text file called authorized_keys in C:\Users\username\. ssh\.

Can VPS be hacked?

Plus fixing a single website that's been compromised can be as easy as just an hour or so work.

How do I enable SSH remotely?

To initiate an SSH connection to a remote system, you need the Internet Protocol (IP) address or hostname of the remote server and a valid username. You can connect using a password or a private and public key pair. Because passwords and usernames can be brute-forced, it's recommended to use SSH keys.

Why do we add SSH key?

Do you SSH with private or public key?

An SSH key relies upon the use of two related keys, a public key and a private key, that together create a key pair that is used as the secure access credential. The private key is secret, known only to the user, and should be encrypted and stored safely.

Do I need the private or public key to SSH?

The SSH employs a public key cryptography. A public-key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography, is a class of cryptographic algorithms which requires two separate keys, one of which is secret (or private) and one of which is public. 1 Together they are known as a key-pair.
