Re: SCP Issue (Can't open /dev/tty) -- RPG400-L

Thanks Scott, the "I wonder why" is exactly the question I've been asking
myself haha.

I decided to start from square one and recreate everything (public/private
key pair).

I used the following page as a guide
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1012710 and used the
following command to create it without a passphrase

ssh-keygen -t rsa -N ""

I then FTP'd the public key to the admin of the remote server
(the page says FTP in binary mode, but I didn't do anything special. Just
a get command to place on my PC and email as an attachment).

I feel like everything was done correctly but it's as if the SCP process
is still trying to authenticate with a password and as you said that would
cause errors.

I pasted the content of the debug message again for reference and
highlighted in bold what I believe to be the problem area. What I don't
understand out of that is why
is it "Offering public key: /home/QPGMR/.ssh/id_rsa" ? id_rsa is my
private key is it not while id_rsa.pub should be my public key?

Similarly it is trying id_dsa for my private key when I only have an
id_rsa

I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen or not or if it's just trying
different things. Either way shouldn't I see it at least try the correct
documents?

Russell,

Just hit enter for the passphrase and it will not include a passphrase.

Now that I'm re-reading the stuff you posted, though, I think I may have
read it wrong the first time ;-) I think it's just not accepting your
key, so it's trying other methods.

I wonder why? Each time you've re-run ssh-keygen, have you installed
the new public key on the remote server?

Thank you Scott for the response.

I believe removing the passphrase is what I would want to accomplish,

but

I am unsure how to go about it.

I tried checking online and saw ssh-keygen command mentioned and leaving
the passphrase empty (for no passphrase).
I attempted to do that, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Is
it because there is still a passphrase it's just blank?

How would I actually remove the passphrase from the key then?

ssh-keygen -p
Enter file in which the key is (/home/QPGMR/.ssh/id_rsa):

Key has comment '/home/QPGMR/.ssh/id_rsa'
Enter new passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase
again:
Your identification has been saved with the new passphrase.

Russell,

The key you are attempting to use requires a passphrase, but it can't
ask you for the passphrase becuase you are not using a Unix-type
terminal, so it's not able to use that key.

You mention id_dsa... this is an older, less secure, key type that you
should not use. (Likewise, it mentions "identity", same problem.) This
is not a problem, as you can see that it is also trying id_rsa. You
need to fix the situation with id_rsa.

Use one of these alternatives:
1) remove the passphrase so that id_rsa can be used without it.
2) Use a Unix terminal (such as Putty) so that it can prompt you
3) Use something like ssh-agent to enter the passphrase
4) Use something like Expect to script the passphrase

Good Morning

I am trying to utilize openSSH and SCP to transmit a file to one of our
suppliers (They request scp specifically).

I have been following Scott Klement's guide online entitled "Scripting

the

OpenSSH, SFTP, and SCP utilities on i" and while it has been extremely
helpful to get me started
I am still running into an issue I can't seem to solve.

Below is the debug of the command I am trying to run. I also have
(id_rsa.pub id_rsa known_hosts) in my .ssh directory for the user I

running the command as
I notice that in the debug it attempts to use the private key under a
different name (Trying private key: /home/QPGMR/.ssh/id_dsa). Should I
rename my private key?

Any help would be appreciated
