OpenSSH keys storage

[cct]

I finally found what I wanted on the Wiki https://wiki.vmssoftware.com/OpenSSH

I couldn't get SSH working with keys. Of course the new OpenSSH uses [.SSH] rather than the older [.SSH2]

It doesn't work for me.

   Yow.  I've seen some lame problem descriptions in my time, but ...

   What you actually did, and what actually happened when you did it,
would be more helpful than a vague description of what you "couldn't"
do.

> [...] Of course the new OpenSSH uses [.SSH] rather than the older
> [.SSH2]

   Ok.  And you did what with which, exactly?


> It doesn't work for me.

   As a problem description, "It" is just a bit too terse to be more
than risible.


   And, if I had an SSH problem, I might not discuss it in a thread
with a title like "V9 Documentation".

I was looking for up to date VMS SSH , as well as TCP/IP documentation, rather than asking for help with SSH.

As to resolution of my problem, as above I simply moved keys and the AUTHORIZED_KEYS files from [.SSH2] into [.ssh] in my home directory.

I have used ssh keys on VMS since the 90s so got used to the [.SSH2] directory that I didn't question it.

If it SSH keys that don't work, and you are using Putty on Windows, then read the PuTTY help pages as the Wiki link

Solved, there was a bug in copying the key from linux to VMS.
