Windows Operating System
We recommend MobaXterm as the most straight forward SSH client. You can download its free home edition (Installer Edition) from https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/
The Mobaxterm Portable Edition is not recommended as it deletes the sessions. Once you install the stable version of MobaXterm, open its terminal and enter this command:ssh-keygen
This command will create a private key and a public key. Do not share your private key; we recommend giving it a passphrase for security.
To view the .ssh
directory and to read the public key, enter these commands:ls -al ~/.ssh
more ~/.ssh/*.pub
MACOS:
Use a terminal to create an SSH key pair using the command:ssh-keygen
To view the .ssh
directory and to read the public key, enter these commands:ls -al ~/.ssh
more ~/.ssh/*.pub
