Copy and Paste an Identity.pub
File
In order to use your public key, you must transfer the Identity.pub (or whatever name you chose) file created by the Key Generation wizard to the individual user's folder under the Publickey folder on the VShell server . For example:
C:\Program files\VShell\Publickey\%User%\Identity.pub
If you are not using VShell® version 2.1 or newer and want to configure a VShell server to recognize your Identity.pub file, it is recommended that you follow the procedure below for using copy-and-paste operations to create a copy of the Identity.pub file in the Publickey folder on the remote machine.
To use copy-and-paste operations to configure the VShell server to recognize your Identity.pub file:
1. Using a terminal emulator (such as VanDyke Software's SecureCRT®), log on to the remote VShell server using SSH2 and password authentication .
2. On
the local machine, use Notepad.exe to open the Identity.pub
file that was created with the SecureFX Key Generation wizard.
3. With
the Identity.pub
file open in Notepad, the Edit menu
and choose Select All. Once everything is selected, open the Edit
menu again and select Copy.
4. On the remote machine, complete the following steps:
a. Change to the individual user's folder under the Publickey folder. For example:
\Program files\VShell\Publickey\%User%
b. Type
copy con identity.pub
on the
command line and press the ENTER
key.
c. Paste
the contents of the Clipboard (which should now contain the contents of
your Identity.pub
file).
d. Press
CTRL+Z
ENTER
to close the Identity.pub
file. Once you have typed CTRL+Z ENTER
, the Identity.pub
file will have been created in the folder on the remote VShell server.
