It is now necessary to convert your xx.pub public key into this format. The International Bureau uses the commercial Tectia SSH server, which uses public keys in the newer SECSH Public Key format.This key pair (xx and xx.pub) are suitable for all OpenSSH applications. The following examples assume the existence of a passphrase. The passphrase is never sent to the remote machine. You will be prompted for this passphrase whenever you use this key. Otherwise, if the account will be used by humans, enter a good (at least 8 characters, with letters, numbers and punctuation marks) passphrase in the given blocks. If this account will be used for non-interactive applications (such as automated scripts and downloading", press " Enter". When key generation is complete, you will be prompted to enter a passphrase. You will be prompted for a file in which to save the key. Enter the command "ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa" to generate a OpenSSH format 1024 bit DSA key.You must be in the ".ssh" directory when executing the next commands.
Log in to your local Unix machine and create a directory named ".ssh".Two utilities will be used in this section, ssh-keygen, to create your public and private keys, and sftp, to upload your public key to the PCT-EDI server. Sftp uses a set of commands similar to those found in normal Internet FTP. This section describes the configuration and use of the OpenSSH sftp client. The following usage instructions are based upon the existence of a properly installed OpenSSH subsystem. Installation instructions, source code, and precompiled binaries for a variety of Unix systems can be found at Installation of the OpenSSH utilities can only be performed by your Unix systems administrator, and is dependent upon the target Unix system.
