What is an SSH key?

SSH is a widely used protocol for interacting with remote servers for configuration and general use. An SSH key is a special credential for logging into SSH services and encrypting information. They can be used to log into the server without using a password, which is what will be covered in this tutorial.

I. How to Generate SSH Key

First, You log in to the Virtfusion dashboard that we sent you when we delivered your VPS. In the Overview section, you click the Rebuild section

Next, you will fill in the Name server and Hostname information. Then select the OS you want to install.

Scroll down below, you will see the SSH keys section, click on Add key

Next, click on Random Name to create any name for the SSH key. Then click on Generate key pair to create a Private SSH key and a Public key.

Then save the Private Key in a safe place. If you use it, it’s best to upload a copy to Dropbox. You should save the private key file in unformatted mode. Then you can use Bitvise SSH client software to import the private key file.

Now, You have successfully set up a passwordless login via key pair on your VPS.

II. Sharing

In this section, Access tokens enable you to request access to other server groups, servers, or SSH keys within the system. If you know another user with an account, generate a token and send it to them. They can then use the token to assign you to a specific resource.

To do this you need to go to Your Account -> Sharing -> Generate Token

After creating the Token code, go to the account with the VPS you need to share and paste that Token code.

Next, you can share execution rights to the shared account

This result is successful.

In this article, we have guided you to create an SSH key and sharing on Virtfusion. We hope you will do it successfully.
