How to: SSH private key authentication on OS X
- by dan
Hi,
I need to ssh into a linux box. The server admin gave me a public and private ssh key. When I'm trying to login with the private key the login times out ("Operation timed out").
I'm using this command to login:
ssh -v -i /path/to/private_key host
What would be the right way to login? Do I need the public key for authentication?
Thanks for any help.
