In This Chapter:
How to Use
the SSH Manager
From the SSH option in your control panel, the following
screen is displayed:
As illustrated above, the SSH Manager provides
step-by-step instructions for transferring your public key
to the server. The first step in this procedure is to create
an RSA key. Your software will have directions on how to do
this. For step by step instructions on how to create your
own RSA key using the Secure CRT software, consult Chapter
5.

Placing
an RSA Key on the Server with SSH Manager
Once you have created an RSA key, you need to
place this key on the server before you are able to connect
with it. To do this, open the SSH Manager on your control
panel. Place your key in the text box provided and click the
"Submit" button.
To do this, you must open the key in another
application, copy it, and then paste it into this text box.
An easy way to perform this is to open your key with notepad
or another simple text editor. Then simply highlight all of
the text, copy it, and paste it into the text box in your
SSH Manager. When you click the "Submit" button,
a new screen will be displayed:
Here, you must enter the IP address for any
computers from which you will be accessing the server. You
can get this information from your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Or, if you are currently at the computer you will be regularly
using, you can find the IP address by opening a DOS prompt
and typing the command, "ipconfig".
After you have entered at least one IP Address
number in one of the spaces provided, click on the "Next"
button. A new screen displays:
Make sure that the IP address listed is correct.
Then click the "Submit" button. A message appears
indicating that you will be able to access the server, via
your SSH software (Secure CRT), from one of the addresses
you listed within the next ten minutes.
Once these steps have been performed, use the
Secure CRT software as usual to establish a connection to
your site on the server. You will be prompted for your passphrase
when the connection is made. Once the connection is made,
Secure CRT works similarly to other telnet utilities.
