i mainly use scp or rsync from terminal, also integration in dolphin kde is pretty smooth when needed in my case.. you should dig around all the info you got from this post and find your "sweet spot" for your workflow..

hi again,

I did your command but it works only if I open my terminal as 'root'
if Im not as root, I got that :slight_smile:

/home/james/.ssh/config: line 1: Bad configuration option: ~/.ssh/config
/home/james/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options

I need to do ''sudo'' before.. sudo ssh openwrt

24

Sounds like the first line of your config file is messed up.

25

I have that in /.ssh/config

~/.ssh/config

Host openwrt
HostName 192.168.1.1
    Port 3xxxx
    User root
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_localrouter
    PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa

Really...?

ssh -i /home/user/Downloads/foo/SSH_key/your_key.key root@192.168.1.1

(I wasn't even aware there was PuTTY for Linux, thanks for the info!)

It doesn't seem that hard...unless I misunderstand what you mean by "login automatically". Most terminal screens will allow you to open it into a command, so you can even configure your desktop to load it when opened.

to load it from open wrt ?

you mean, like we do ie; in downloads folder and choose ; open in terminal ?

31

I have no clue what you're asking. You said you had a Linux desktop, so your reply is very confusing.

Nonetheless, that is the command.

32

yes linux debian,

about that, I m not sure what you explain

33

You want to use a key to login via SSH from a Debian Linux machine. That is the command on the Linux box (hence, I said configure desktop).

34

ok yes, you're right, sorry.

about ''.key'', I use ''ed25519 '' it is fine? just addind the complete key at the end of that command..

35

It depends on the OpenWrt version you are using.
