  • ssh key login

    Hi,

    Is it possible to upload your ssh public key to this bbs, for easier ssh login? I can't find a menu item for this...

    cvs.synchro.net allows SFTP and you can upload (using SFTP) your public SSH key to /home/.ssh/authorized_keys

    I think this is somewhat automated if you use a recent version of SyncTERM configured as such.

    I'm not using syncterm, but adding my pub-key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys worked!

    Thanks!
