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 on Unix, (the "%APPDATA%\SSH\UserKeys" directory on Windows).

  2. Connect to Server using your password.

  3. Use the SCP tool to upload your public key to the server, to your default authorized_keys directory, $HOME/.ssh2/authorized_keys on Unix servers, ("%APPDATA%\.ssh2\authorized_keys" on Windows servers):

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

The server will then use the uploaded public key to authenticate you when you log in after this.
