All will happen automatically, and the command will take care to set up the right permissions on the relevant files and directories. The command ssh-copy-id will take your public ssh key, connect to the destination machine, here .uk, and it will append the public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. It will be used to confirm your identity when you connect to the remote system. The public key is something that you can share and you place it on the remote system. we agree to the default: id_rsa. The private key stays only on your local machine and you need to protect it from being discovered by third parties as it is like a password. At the prompt ‘Enter file in which to save the key’, we leave it blank, i.e. With the command ssh-keygen we create two files on the local machine, your private and public ssh keys: id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. In the terminal we just need to type two commands – one to generate the ssh keys on your home machine (if you do not have them yet) and the second command to transfer the public key to act-ssh. Alternative method 1 – ssh key setup via act-ssh with Verification Code authentication (recommended) Here we just show it in MobaXterm, with screen shots. This part is not specific to MobaXterm, the same commands can be used on Mac and on Linux. In the terminal we generate the ssh keys and transfer the public key to the UoR Unix home directory. The local terminal provides a Unix shell environment on your Windows PC, and it includes ssh. Launch MobaXterm and click ‘Start local terminal’. Two factor authentication to act-ssh with ssh keysĪ video showing this procedure is available at the end of this section. Some older versions have problems with using ssh keys.

Let’s download and install the most recent version of MobaXterm, use the installer version, not the portable version. Linux and Mac users: see also the twin article act-ssh for Linux and Mac users – step by step guide. In the screenshots below, the username qx901702 is used, please replace it with your own username for your connection. For some users, the approach presented in this article might be a replacement for using VPN (and will allow to connect to systems not accessible from VPN).

Some but not all users will find it useful to see the part how to connect to virtual desktops and office PCs, or how to use act-ssh to access SMB (Windows) shares.

NX users might find it handy to see how to use an ssh tunnel or tunneled SOCKS proxy to access NX with the full NoMachine client. The next part of the tutorial – configuring clickable sessions, and using act-ssh as a jump host for various purposes is not necessary to connect to RACC or to transfer files to RACC, but it will allow you to automate routine steps, e.g.
However, if you cannot use the authenticator app, an alternative, more complex way of achieving the same result with use of MFT will be shown as well. It is recommended that before you start with this tutorial, you already have Google Authentication set up, as shown on the act-ssh landing page, because we will use this method to authenticate to act-ssh when copying the public key. In this step by step tutorial we will set up ssh key authentication to act-ssh – we will create an ssh key pair on the home machine and than we will copy the public key to the UoR systems.
