Log in via SSH with PuTTY SSH

[magick]

Hi,

I follow your blog guide to access with PuTTY SSH How To Use PuTTY SSH With cPanel® | cPanel Blog, but I have some problem.

In the first method using a username and password, when I insert username in terminal emulator, it shows this error:
"PuTTY Fatal Error

No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)".

In the second method, I generate the SSH Keys with put but i can't Uploading the Public Key to Your Server because in .ssh folder, I don't see the "authorized_keys file".

How can I Log with PuTTY SSH?

Thank you.

That means that password authentication is disabled.

Thank you.

You must create the file authorized_keys, and paste the public key to it.
Permissions for the authorized_keys file must be 0600, and for the .ssh folder 0700.

Thank you. Can I enable it?

Ok. What must I use as file extension?

There is no file extension for that.

Do you have root access to the server, or just access to the cPanel account?

Do you have root access?

The provider says yes. I have a reseller hosting account with WHM and I created the cPanel account. In any case, I created the the "authorized_keys" file and I pasted the public key from the PuTTY Key Generator. After i followed this steps


Open PuTTY’s main session interface:

• Enter your server’s domain name or IP address.
• In the left-hand sidebar, expand the Connection item, then the SSH item, and click Auth.
• Click the Browse button and select the .ppk file you saved earlier.
• Click the Open button at the bottom of the window.

However when I insert username in the terminal emulator, I can't write the passphrase and a few seconds later it shows this error: "Remote side unexpectedly closed network connection".

 

[quietFinn]

I'd suggest you generate a new key without a passphrase (i.e. empty passphrase).

@quietFinn without a passphrase it works. Thank you very much!
