I've updated my question to show the output of the commands as they are being run on Ubuntu 22.04 with the server name obscured for obvious reasons. However if I clear the keys on the server out, reinstall 22.04 and do the same, it still prompts me for the password. I've just reinstalled 20.04 on another machine and used this successfully and the rsync is working without the need for a password. The instructions I was given were to use ssh-keygen to generate public/private keys and then ssh-copy-id to copy the public key to the remote host. How this originally came about was that I needed to be able to rsync to and from a remote location without the need for a human intervention regarding security. rw- 1 root root 742 May 17 23:32 authorized_keysĬonnection to rsync -verbose -archive -e 'ssh -p 22' ~/Files/ password: Individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.ĭebian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extentĭrwx- 2 root root 4096 May 17 23:32.

My maintenance scripts can make up to 20 connections over a period of hours, and to have to sit and constantly enter the password is becoming a pain.Ĭan anyone help me get my remote rsync commands working again so they don't keep asking me for my password

#Securecrt public key upgrade

I know this is going to be due to my cloud drives only supporting the now insecure SSH, but I cannot upgrade it to a more secure one (unless someone knows how - I would prefer to do this to be honest).

If I then entered ssh simply connected without asking to my password. To generate a passphrase and then ssh-copy-id copy the passphrase across What I was originally doing was running ssh-keygen -b 4096

#Securecrt public key how to

This was working until I upgraded, now the scripts continually ask me for my password and I can't figure out how to stop it. However with Ubuntu 20.04 I had set up a passphrase so that various autyomated scripts that I use using rsync could copy between cloud drives and also between Ubuntu and the cloud drive shares. I can now connect via SSH and entering a password. Initially I couldn't gain SSH access at all after upgrading, however the one-fix at this website worked. I can still connect to the shares with no problems, however I need to SSH onto both drives in order to run maintenance, backup between cloud drives, etc. I have two first generation WD M圜loud drives which handle all my backups and files both on and away from home. I've had a couple of teething issues which I've solver, however I'm having real issues with SSH. Up until last week I was running Ubuntu 20.04 happily, and then over the weekend decided to back everything up and install 22.04.
