SSH command in windows

[wannabag]

Hi again,

To complete my previous post, I would just mention that I'm using SSH2 on both client and server. My problem is not so much how to create a public key as that can easily be found all over the web. My problem is whether it's the correct workaround in order to be able to perform the command I mentioned.

Any idea?


Previous post:

I'm working on an NT machine and wish to run a compilation on a remote UNIX server using a SSH. I am calling the command from an application (Eclipse):

ssh -tt user@host cd home/dir; make

If I understand the matter properly, I should install some authentication key in order to avoid password demand during login so the command can be run. Note that I have only limited access to the file system of the UNIX server as defined by my view. I can thus only modify files within my user's scope.

Could you direct me to what could be done? If my question lacks of information, feel free to request it and i'll do my best to answer. This is the first time I use SSH so excuse me if I miss the point

yes, that would be ssh keys. You want to generate a key in the program
you're using. A quick google search turned up this [0]

As far as the remote host is concerned, you're going to go through the
process of setting up the directory ~/.ssh with 700 permissions, and add
the public key generated to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file with 600
permissions (make sure the public key is on one line and not broken up)

See above.

HTH,

Hi there, it seems to be something related in the public-key
authentication, in order
to logging using SSH Passphrase (private key/public key), let me know
if you can find the answer in this link... or if I am completely wrong
let me know too :D

In order to avoid having to enter a password with the SSH command, you will
need to do one of two things:

1) Allow some sort of key authentication using a public/private key pair
(preferred). This will require you to generate the keys and place them in
the correct location on the server and the client-side. I'm unfamiliar with
using keys with the ssh command-line under a Windows environment, so you
might check its documentation. Depending on your SSH implementation on the
remote UNIX host, various steps should be taken to configure this there as
well. This will require your additional access.

2) You could somehow butcher the SSH login authentication using PAM to where
it no longer requires a password. I've done this by accident on a Linux box,
so I know it works. However, this is probably the worst recommendation of
all time, so I wouldn't do this.

At any rate, I believe you will need to involve the UNIX administration team
for the server on your efforts and perhaps they could assist in your
endeavor.
