It requests that I enter the file! I have no file, the client HAS to generate that file, then the server admin adds that file to the server. Not the other way round. So, dead end again. No HELP button. And I have to pay for this? Good grief. :-(
No you generate the key pair with "ssh-keygen" under the user you want to connect to on the server. Copy the pub key to a directory on your tablet and point Solid Explorer to that.
NONONONO. The key pairs HAVE to be generated on the clients, that's the procedure, given to the admin of the server, who then writes them on the server file. Only then can the client access the server. How on earth am I going to generate a key pair on a machine I have no yet access to? That's impossible. It is always the client who generate the keys. The tablet has to generate the keys. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
