I am trying to connect to my BBB via ssh-keypair-authentifcation (from my Windows machine). The regular user/pwd-login works, but somehow I'm stuck with the keypair method. My aim would be to connect to the static IP-address of my BBB (192.168.1.175) resp. USB (192.168.7.2) with keypair (as the user ubuntu).
I have on my Win-machine TeraTerm as SSH-client installed. I can generate on my Win-machine a keypair. To my understanding I should now put the public key (ub_user.pub) on my BBB and use the private key as authentication. But this fails somehow cause I guess I'm missing some essential points. For the case via USB I try something ubuntu@BBB:~$ ssh-copy-id -i [email protected] I get an endless blinking cursor. I guess I need to verify my credentials but this fails. And I wonder anyway how the ssh should know which public-file to use. Could somebody please help and give me a hint what to do with the public-key-file? My second question is the curiosity reg. the pub-key-file. For the login procedure I specify only the private-key file. How does the host (BBB) know from where to take the pub-key-files? To my understanding they are stored per each user which would mean, that the ssh scans through each user-dir (what I doubt). And last question: Can I use the same (public) key for different connections? Namely to use it for USB-connection as well as for eth0-connection. Help would be really appreciated ... -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
