cygWin connect by SSH using RSA key; ssh.exe couldn't create /home/user/.ssh
- by Kirzilla
Hello,
I'm using Win XP and I'm trying to connect by SSH to remote host using RSA key.
I've investigated that cygWin recognizes Documents and Settings dir as home directory
Z:\app\cwRsync\bin>cygpath -H
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings
I've created .ssh directory in Documents and Settings/user/.ssh and moved known_hosts, id_rsa, id_rsa.pub there.
Now, I'm trying to connect via ssh.exe to remote host
Z:\app\cwRsync\bin>ssh -p 22 [email protected]
Could not create directory '/home/user/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host '[remotehost.com]:22 ([remotehost.com]:22)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is f7:f4:2c:e0:c6:7e:d2:a4:45:70:63:df:bf:f2:84:46.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
What I'm doing wrong? Why ssh.exe couldn't create directory /home/user/.ssh?
Thank you.
