Hello, anyone with setting SSH?

I am using secureCRT, i have created keys but not sure exactly what to do. I have looked at instruction but they are clear to me.

I have uploaded user1.pub to /etc/ssh how do i get it recognised by system?

Cheers

I am assuming that you have SSH already installed on the server you are attempting to connect to? If not, of course it will not work. You need to compile OpenSSH and always make sure the latest version of OpenSSL is there as well. What OS are you using?

Yes i do assume ssh is running, there is a ssh folder, any way of checking?

It is on Redhat 6.2

You can try to telnet to port 22 or if you try to SSH in, the error alone should tell you.

well in this case ssh is working, but i am trying set up the keys for identities.

The WHM has section on how but this for older version of secureCRT, and secureCRT help does not make to much sense to me.

I have created the private/public keys in secureCRT and have uploaded the public key for user1.pub in etc/ssh but i do not know how to add this to shh server access file.

Ok, let me understand you correctly. Are you trying to setup identity key's so you do not need to enter a password upon connection? Otherwise, the keys are created by default locally and on the server.

hmm.

I always do this.
I load the RPM on the server, and install it.
Then I connect with SecureCRT to the server, with ssh2
then I hit accept & save and thats it
