Connect with SSH key

This guide explains how to connect to your Web hosting using an SSH key.

Prerequisites

1. Create an FTP + SSH account from Manager Infomaniak.
2. Create a SSH key with a safe algorithm, e.g. ed25519:

   • ssh-keygen -t ed25519

     for with a key in rsa (ssh-keygen or ssh-keygen -t rsa), the connection will be refused and the following error will be returned in verbose mode:

     debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm

Place SSH key

To this end:

1. Log in to the SSH server (Need help?).

2. Go to the root of your accommodation:

   cd ~

3. Create the directory « .ssh»:

    mkdir .ssh

4. Edit directory rights .ssh in chmod 700.
5. Create File authorized_keys and paste your public SSH key on a single line (important).
6. Edit file rights authorized_keys in chmod 600.
