Hello,
I recently had trouble getting started with (the documentation-free)
MacSSH 2.1d5. The author emailed me these instructions which got me
on my way:
##############
I need to apologize for not having written any manual. here's a
quickstart. if you still have problems, try forcing MD5 as
authentication, and maybe zlib as compression.
key pair:
To create your key pair, go to the Favorites settings (Menu
"Favorites", option "Edit FavoritesS"), and in the SSH2 tab, click
"Initialize SSH". This is to be done only once for all SSH2
connections, and creates a couple of files named "identity" and
"identity.pub" in the same folder as MacSSH. identity is your private
key file. don't give it to anyone. identity.pub is the corresponding
public key, which you give to SSH2 admins whose servers require a
public key to accept connections.
Client configuration:
In the Favorites settings, tab SSH2, select the Encryption,
Authentication and Compression methods to use, and, for a first
connection to a host, leave the "Never trust unknown host key"
unchecked. this will let MacSSH accept new keys from the SSH2 host
you connect to.
In the Favorites settings, tab Security, Select the Protocol ssh2
(Secure Shell), and enter your login. You can leave the password
blank if you don't want to save it in MacSSH preferences, it will be
asked later.
You should now be able to connect to the host.
Troubleshooting:
If you have problems to connect to a host, you can activate the
verbose/debug/trace modes from the SSH2 tab, leave the terminal
window opened, by checking the "Windows don't go away" box in the
Preferences dialog, and raise the Scrollback value to 1000 in the
Terminal settings to display a large enough history.
That's it.
