$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]" Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/Tekkub/.ssh/id_rsa):
ssh.txt
I entered a file name here. Not sure if i should have,
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
I am stuck here. I type and it doesnt work
@fuzzy:
Thats why ssh comes with a program called ssh-agent which caches your passphrase. (Okay it actually caches the decrypted key, not the passphrase, same result) That way you can have a passphrase on your key and still not have to type it each time.
Okay, just assuming this might be the answer:
Passwords normally don't show up in the console when you type them. That is intended. Just type your password, hit enter and repeat. It will work.
