Generate SSH key pair

System : MAC OSX / LINUX

Open a terminal and enter the following command :

 

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_CCUR -N ""

 

by replacing id_rsa_CCUR with the name you wish to give to your key.

Then send us your public key with the .pub extension (here: id_rsa_CCUR.pub) which is (normally) in your home in the folder :

 

.ssh/id_rsa_CCUR.pub

 

 

The other file, without extension, (here: id_rsa_CCUR ) corresponds to your private key. You must keep it carefully and not divulge it.

 

System : Windows 10 ( from version 1809)

Open Windows PowerShell and enter the following command:

 

ssh-keygen.exe -t rsa -f C:\Users\Informatque/.ssh/test_rsa -N ‘""’

 

by replacing test_rsa by the name you want to give to your key.

Then send us your public key with the .pub extension (here: test_rsa.pub) which is in your home directory (here C:\Users\Informatque ) in the folder :

 

.ssh/test_rsa.pub

 

The other file, without extension, (here: test_rsa ) corresponds to your private key. You must keep it carefully and not divulge it.
