UKB, If you can create an ssh public-private key pair for your box and e-mail the public key to me, I'll add you to the authorized users for our upload repository. Here's how to do the ssh keys using VL: 1) Open a terminal. 2) Type ssh-keygen -t rsa at the command prompt. A public-private key pair will be generated. 3) You will be prompted for a passphrase. While not absolutely necessary, it's a good idea to have one. 4) The public key file will be saved in a text file located at ~/.ssh/rsa_id.pub. If you need to use a Windows box, PuTTY is the recommended SSH client. Use PuTTYgen to generate a key pair. The key pair needs to be SSH-2 (either RSA or DSA will be fine). Click the Generate button in the PuTTYgen window and follow the prompts. Once the key is generated, copy the key from the part of the PuTTYgen window marked "Public key for pasting into SSH authorized_keys file" and paste it into the body of an e-mail (plain text format, please). Once you have generated the key, e-mail it to me at joh...@gm... as a file attachment (preferred). If you have to put the key in the body of the e-mail (the case with PuTTYgen), use plain text as your e-mail format. Since I get a fair amount of e-mail daily, format your subject line like this: VLforumname - SSH key Cheers, John |
