how to get auth keys for ssh via os x onto paperwhite
i really want to be able to sftp into my paperwhite via wifi, so that i can both usb mass storage and access the filesystem as the same time.
a few problems: 1) no password on 5.3 up. 2) i don't know how to set auth keys on/for/with os x. 3) will transmit then work after that? 4) as see by my shenanigans, i'm not entirely clear on Code:
USE_WIFI and Code:
USE_WIFI_SSHD_ONLY |

ssh-keygen
press enter lots of times. copy the contents of your .pub key onto the device in /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys file. (doesn't exist make one) USE_WIFI = TRUE USE_WIFI_SSHD_ONLY=FALSE |

2) Read the README_FIRST.txt of the usbnetwork package. There is a reason why it was named README_FIRST.txt. Quote:
3) yes. |

lol... lmgtfy seems to return some weird results these days..
or perhaps it is the "Google Bubble" that seems to get so much moaning press lately. but yeah... the readmefirst is a good place to start. |

If you would use the "sort by prefix: HowTo" at the top of this forum, you will find a detailed ssh/scp article at postition 8 in the list.

not unwilling to learn, but too much overwhelms me. so, in a round about way, i guess i was asking to be spoonfed a bit when the stove and ingredients were more than my kindergarten brain was ready for. thanks you guys. i will try all of this. i cannot guarantee i won't be back with more questions, but i can guarantee you don't have to answer them. |

ok, back again.
thanks, to all of you, and especially ixtab for the push in the right direction with passwd. now, (and yes, i promise i have read both readme and readme_first, and they just aren't clear enough for me, AND i've even searched the forums here to no avail) i'd like for usbnet wifi to be on at boot/reboot. i understand renaming the Code:
DISABLE_auto Code:
auto is there a way to have mass storage (via usb) on AND sftp/ssh (via wifi) simultaneously at boot? is that what Code:
USE_WIFI_SSHD_ONLY = true or, does it have to be both Code:
auto Code:
USE_WIFI_SSHD_ONLY = true sorry to be a pest— tj |

At this moment in the conversation, that would be your Mac. Just open a "Terminal" instance, commands are the same, since both Linux and MacOSx use the BSD software (which is installed by default on both OSs). And the "overly commented" post - That is so you can cut & paste the commands - Know what to expect when it works and when it does not work - And can read why. All without thinking or prior knowledge. But what you want is called: "Public key authentication" (no username/password prompt). In fact, if using the USBnetworking package from this site - It presumes that you will be using pub-key when access over Wifi (and it will also accept the same over USB). Knowing how to set up short-cuts and nick-names is just another user convenience item. |
