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]

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.

Ok. And you did what with which, exactly?

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".

Re: V9 Documentation
I was looking for up to date VMS SSH , as well as TCP/IP documentation, rather than asking for help with SSH.sms wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 10:59 amCode: Select all

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

Re: V9 Documentation
Solved, there was a bug in copying the key from linux to VMS.
