If you have access to a Linux machine, just run ssh-keygen there with the usual parameters, copy the private key file over to the Windows machine, and specify it in the session settings (there's a field where you can specify the path to an RSA/DSA key). On the Linux box, add the public key to the authorized_keys file of the user account you're trying to log in as, and you should be all set. If you want to create your key pair on Windows, you will need to use either ssh-keygen from a cygwin install, or PuttyGen.exe from the PuTTY tool suite - for the latter, you will need to use the "export" function of PuttyGen's GUI to save the private key, as PuTTY's own *.ppk key storage files are incompatible with standard ssh. - -Stefan - -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUtDDkAAoJEG7d9BjNvlEZqokH/j7m83jsuyAT+QNoywdMEy79 Ai1HH8dtC1G4pOtw1cwUerEAcGUKRZUqOn/8Fy4BMkwBZwXfvl4AU3U+GezkBEsE JraCO54ETz3LukZjNmCLO7GmU7Ql57/Dyd42CzE6wNojzD3/LwTgSZ39cC0LqGtc gghKNgSsR2A9YasKn/S2r4gfrj5nUJC3avo1fd4HLNEUunaSRykmXUXmL9gi+6oQ qjRCL/Rf2Y9EqGj5++cW1KhUG/NQPQ9pHcfvpfq/1W3Ty8lO60z7YIQ9uiHaf5qr 3wRY7ItGG1gwLHd4czKHBJ7O7cnN1IJg7UI2GMNVNcqgawgdeOgYWV43SCytFMI= =aLQz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
