requinix Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 When the admin tells you the key has been added and you can use it, try connecting and see what happens. Just try it.

dil_bert Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 well ithis is a key with a asc-formate: .asc? That is pretty unusual for an SSH key. i used the kgpg tool to create the key pair. well - i used kgpg - the kde-gui - running in manjaro-linux there i have had the option to create a key pair. well if i cannot use that kind of key - i (also) have to contact the serveradmin which i have sent the public part of the key (pair) i will digg deeper into this question - i will come back and report all the findings. greetings btw. many many thanks for the great support you offer here.

requinix Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The extension doesn't matter. The contents of the file should have "BEGIN PRIVATE KEY" on the first line and lots of characters after it. https://www.google.com/search?q=filezilla+sftp+private+key Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/307934-setting-up-filezilla-with-ssh-key/#findComment-1562405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dil_bert Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) hello again dear requinix, first of all: - many thanks requinix for the continued help generated a key with ssh-keygen did it like so: [martin@martin-pc ~]$ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/martin/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/home/martin/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: exported the key with methods that i found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3828164/how-do-i-access-my-ssh-public-key cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub und cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa the basic question were like the following ones.. How do I access my SSH public key? i 've just generated my RSA key pair, and I wanted to add that key to GitHub. cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa with that commands i managed the keys and was able to make visible the pub and + priv key the pub key i have sent to the server admin Finally - many thanks requinix for the continued help Edited November 23, 2018 by dil_bert Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/307934-setting-up-filezilla-with-ssh-key/#findComment-1562409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
