Error: Permission denied (publickey) and Solution

ssh or similar applications use Public and Private Key mechanism in order to authenticate and authorize given users. We have all ready examined Key based authentication and authorization in previous tutorials. Permission denied(public key) error is generally occurs for can not reading Public and Private key properly to authenticate to remove server. In this tutorial we will learn general causes and solutions. Troubleshooting We will start with a simple troubleshooting. When...

How to Add Ssh Keys with ssh-add In Linux?

SSH protocol provides different ways for authentication. Key based authentication is the most secure one. In order to use key based authentication we should store the key in a command place. SSH agents reads keys and uses for authentication with remote system. We can use ssh-add to store keys in a common path. Key Files Public and private keys are store in files according to their algorithm. ~/.ssh/identity  holds RSA version...

How To Create and Setup SSH Keys For Passwordless and Public Key Based Authentication In Linux?

Ssh is a protocol designed to make network connections between hosts secure. Ssh is a defacto standard for Linux and related operating system. Ssh encrypts the connection between sides. Ssh gives terminal access between host and server. To get a terminal there need to be an authentication process. The authentication process is generally password-based but there are some caveats for password-based authentication. Brute force attacks can guess the password and...
