Windows 10: Sharing SSH Keys Across Multiple PCs

I set up a preshared key facility for SSH access to a VPS I own. It was pretty straightforward once I'd found this article.But in trying to extend the preshared keys to another computer my Surface 6 laptop I ran into something that confuses me. I'm hoping someone can explain either what I did wrong, or confirm that what I tried to do isn't possible.My original idea was simply to copy the private key from my desktop, where I'd created and successfully used it, to my laptop and call ssh-add to add the private key on the laptop to the laptop's key repository. My thought was since the private ke

You should see:



~ $ ssh user@localhost

The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

If you're seeing



~ $ ssh user@localhost

-sh ssh: not found



means you've not got the openssh client installed on yoru phone.. this doesn't mean the openssh server isn't installed, but it rules out testing that way!..

 

SSH private key auth on Windows 10 Bash

i have some Linux installed on by Laptop and use SSH with private key authentication to connect to a server. Recently, I installed Win10 with the bash developer extension on by desktop. Since I only have one user account on this server, and hence only on key, i simply moved by private key file into the respective directory of my windows bash.

However, whenever I open a new bash instance and try to connect to the server, the error message: 'Permission denied (publickey).' is returned.
My current fix are the following steps: exec ssh-agent bash; ssh-add;

While I could obviously add this into .profile, I would be required to enter the passphrase whenever I open bash.

Does anyone has some suggestions how to fix this more properly, s.t. I only have to enter my passphrase whenever I connect to the server and that I do not have to reinitialize my ssh key in every bash session.

kind regards
