There's something that looks a little weird to me:
Why don't you try to "ssh-keygen" an RSA key pair?
Look, this is the output on one of my servers:

Thanks to the help from this forum i've learned a lot of good stuff but I still have questions :).
I need to write a script that checks if ssh to a box requires a password. I need it will be an "if" statement, if ssh requires password, then do a key exchange(with i already have). Just need to... (5 Replies)
Hi team,
I know if we need to transfer the files between between 2 servser, we use SFTP through key setup between 2 server.
currently There are some problems and we are not able to setup keys between servers.
How can i use password with SFTP for temporary solutions, so that the file... (6 Replies)
Hi
i have generate public private key pair using command
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048
and then it made the two keys under the directory

one is public key and another one is private ..
i copied public one key onto my second server under the directory

Hi Guys,
I need to know how can i achieve SFTP "with" password in a shell script.
I have already done passwordless key generation thing and it is working but at the moment i am interested in passing a password.

There are two servers :
1. Site
2. Testing
from site server i want to connect testing server with ssh password less authentication.
i generated public and private keys with ssh-keygen -t rsa on site server.

Hi All,
I am trying to transfer a file from one server to a remote server using SFTP. Client is not ready for key setup.

I have been tasked with scripting a sftp transfer from my clients sftp server to a vendor. I have been given a user name and password. This is an older OEL server, 5.2.

ssh-add
ssh-add(1) User Commands ssh-add(1)NAME
ssh-add - add RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent
SYNOPSIS
ssh-add [-lLdDxX] [-t life] [ file ]...
DESCRIPTION
The ssh-add utility adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication agent, ssh-agent(1). When run without arguments, it attempts to add
all of the files $HOME/.ssh/identity (RSA v1), $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA v2), and $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa (DSA v2) that exist. If more than one of
the private keys exists, an attempt to decrypt each with the same passphrase will be made before reprompting for a different passphrase.
The passphrase is read from the user's tty or by running the program defined in SSH_ASKPASS (see below).
The authentication agent must be running.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Instead of adding the identity, this option removes the identity from the agent.
-D Deletes all identities from the agent.
-l Lists fingerprints of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-L Lists public key parameters of all identities currently represented by the agent.
-t life Sets a maximum lifetime when adding identities to an agent. The lifetime may be specified in seconds or in a time format speci-
fied in sshd(1M).
-x Locks the agent with a password.
-X Unlocks the agent.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DISPLAY If ssh-add needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If
SSH_ASKPASS ssh-add does not have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute the program spec-
ified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particularly useful when calling ssh-add from
a .Xsession or related script.
SSH_AUTH_SOCK Identifies the path of a unix-domain socket used to communicate with the agent.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
FILES
These files should not be readable by anyone but the user. Notice that ssh-add ignores a file if it is accessible by others. It is possible
to specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file.
If these files are stored on a network file system it is assumed that either the protection provided in the file themselves or the trans-
port layer of the network file system provides sufficient protection for the site policy. If this is not the case, then it is recommended
the key files are stored on removable media or locally on the relevant hosts.
Recommended names for the DSA and RSA key files:
$HOME/.ssh/identity Contains the RSA authentication identity of the user for protocol version 1.
$HOME/.ssh/identity.pub Contains the public part of the RSA authentication identity of the user for protocol version 1.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa Contains the private DSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub Contains the public part of the DSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa Contains the private RSA authentication identity of the user.
$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Contains the public part of the RSA authentication identity of the user.
