Hi,

 

 

You can find the private key by first generating a public/private keypair for SSH by using the command 'sshkeygen -t rsa'.

 

 

This will save id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in ~/.ssh.

 

You will then need to copy the contents of id_rsa.pub to the authorized_keys file on the target server and copy the contents of id_rsa into the iApp as the private key.

 

 

I hope this helps,

 

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Thomas
