[lug] SSH between Windows and Linux (CVS server)

[jef vratny]

Been doing this for a while with no problems. Looks like you're doing it
backwards.

On your windows box get "ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip" from sourceforge,

unzip it to your C: or whatever drive that you wish to use, make sure it's
in a path with NO spaces. Something like this:

        C:\ssh

Add the path to your Win2k system environmentals (on Win2k it's under
Control Panel > System > Advanced)
then cd to that directory.

        C:\ssh>

log into your Linux box via ssh

        C:\ssh>ssh -l username servername

do the following and DO NOT enter passphrases when prompted just hit return:

        ssh-keygen -C your_email at your_address.com -f  ./.ssh/identity

when it's done, do the following:

        cat .ssh/identity.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

hit return

        chmod go-rwx  .ssh/authorized_keys

hit return and exit your session.

Then, from the Win2k box, in your ssh directory do this:

        scp username at servername:/path/to/home/directory/.ssh/identity
.ssh/identity

and this

        scp username at servername:/path/to/home/directory/.ssh/identity.pub
.ssh/identity.pub

If it's working, you should be able to access the server via ssh without a
password now.

Hope that helps.
