Coda 2 use ssh key password#

Then copy and paste the contents of your private and public key files that you generated earlier in their respective boxes. Then click Import Key.Įnter the name that you gave your key in the relevant field. Once that’s done, head over to Security -> SSH Shell Access in cPanel and click Manage SSH Keys. Ssh-add -K inmotionhosting (but replace ‘inmotionhosting’ with whatever you name your key) Give it a unique name, like inmotionhosting and set your passphrase – just like you do through cPanel.Īfter generating the key, add it to your Keychain with: I was able to get this working in Coda 2, finally! I found that using the keys generated through cPanel was not possible in Coda, so I tried generating my own through Terminal like this:

You can use another FTP client to avoid this issue. FileZilla is noted for not supporting version 3 of the PPK file. Build 94 and older will use the older formats (version 1 and 2). The version that is converted will vary based on the cPanel version that you are using. Some FTP clients are unable to use the PuTTy_user-Key-File-3 version. You will see it in the first line when you convert the key (as per the screenshot below). NOTE: If you have converted the key to PPK format using cPanel make sure to review the PuTTy-User-Key-File version that it has been converted to. Next, you need to create your connection profile. First, you need to attach your private key file to FileZilla.

The next step is creating your SFTP profile in your FileZilla application. If you already created keys for SSH access, you will use the same keys for SFTP. If you haven’t done this, you can find the instructions in the following article SSH access for Resellers and Shared Servers. The first step is creating your public and private keys. SFTP, different than FTP access, doesn’t use the normal cPanel login to access your account. Below is our guide on using FileZilla and connecting to SFTP for shared accounts. After you tap your key you will be able to log in.We recently added Secure FTP (SFTP) to our Shared plans. Then SSH directly: ssh you can log into the remote system your Yubikey will start to flash its LED prompting you to tap it. You can now either use the key directly with the -i switch e.g.: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk load it into your SSH agent: ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk Then restart SSH: systemctl restart ssh.service Then log into your server and open the authorized_keys file: nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keysĪnd past the public key line into the file, save and exit. Get the contents of your public key: cat ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk.pub You need to place the contents of your public key into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on your server. This command will place the new key pair into ~/.ssh/ as either: id_ecdsa_sk.pub If you get this error Key enrollment failed: requested feature not supported then your Yubikey’s firmware is too old and does not support ed25519-sk keys. Use this command to create an ed25519 key pair: ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk Then add this line that includes both of the ed25519-sk and ecdsa-sk keys: PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes restart SSH systemctl restart sshĬreate an ecdsa key pair with the following command: ssh-keygen -t ecdsa-sk Open your SSH server’s configuration in a text editor: nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config You will need to configure the SSH server to use the sk (Security Key) that you will create later. You can check your Yubikey’s firmware version with the following command: lsusb -v 2>/dev/null | grep -A2 Yubico | grep 'bcdDevice' | awk '' If you version is older then use an ecdsa-sk key. You will also need Yubikey firmware of 5.2.3 if you want to use a ed25519-sk key.

You must have SSH version 8.2 or greater on the client (your laptop) and the server (the remote Linux system). This guide is a quick start to using a Yubikey with SSH.

Coda 2 use ssh key password#

This situation can be improved upon by enforcing a second authentication factor - a Yubikey.Īfter you do this then only someone with both the password and the Yubikey will be able to use the SSH key pair to log into your Linus system. Traditionally, are secured with a password. SSH is the default method for systems administrators to log into remote Linus systems.
