Tap on your host, the MyHomePC in our example, it should request a confirmation to add the fingerprint of the host to the list of known host on your smartphone.

Confirm the connection with a tap on Connect button, the Terminal to your host should appear.

ssh -L 14002:localhost:14002 user@server

ssh -L 14002:localhost:14002 user@server

If the ssh server is a Windows machine, then you can use this guide: Deploying the public key. Otherwise, use the Powershell:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user@server "umask 077; test -d .ssh || mkdir .ssh ; cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys"

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server

Select Keychain from the hamburger menu

Select the key by tap on key icon, tap on three vertical dots and select Export to host.

Tap on Select host and select the needed host, MyHomePC in our example

Confirm the export to the selected host.

We need to specify options PubkeyAuthentication yes and PasswordAuthentication no in the config file for the ssh daemon. So, return back to your server with storagenode.

You can use a ssh terminal to make these modifications, but be careful - if you have not added your key to the .ssh/authorized_keys file on your ssh server on previous steps, you will lose an access via ssh to your server.

Open the config file %programdata%\ssh\sshd_config with Notepad++ and set options PubkeyAuthentication yes and PasswordAuthentication no, save changes and restart the sshd service either from the Services applet or from the elevated Powershell:

Restart-Service sshd

Windows Configurations in sshd_config

Open the config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config with a text editor, for example nano, and set the PubkeyAuthentication yes and PasswordAuthentication no options, save the config file and restart the ssh daemon

sudo service ssh restart

Edit the configuration file /private/etc/ssh/sshd_config with a plain text editor, for example - with nano, set the PubkeyAuthentication yes and PasswordAuthentication no options, save the config file and restart the ssh daemon

sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd
sudo launchctl start com.openssh.sshd
