There are two ways to generate a key pair. From a Linux system,
|
|
generate the key pair with the <samp>ssh-keygen</samp> command:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -f cloud.key</code>
|
|
</p>

This command generates a pair of keys: a private key (cloud.key)
|
|
and a public key (cloud.key.pub).

From a Windows system, you can use PuTTYGen to create private/public keys.
|
|
Use the PuTTY Key Generator to create and save the keys, then copy
|
|
the public key in the red highlighted box to your <samp>.ssh/authorized_keys</samp>
|
|
file.
