Uploading Public Key Manually

To enable public-key authentication with your key pair:

  1. Check that your keys are stored in the default location: the $HOME/.ssh2 directory.

  2. Connect to Server using your password.

  3. Use SCP to upload your public key to the server, to your authorized_keys directory (by default $HOME/.ssh2/authorized_keys on Unix servers ):

    $ scpg3 id_dsa_2048_a.pub ServerUser@5xServer:.ssh2/authorized_keys/
