You use the private key to connect, and you have to have your public key in the authorized_keys file on the host you are connecting to.

Looking at that log however, it doesn't look like it ever got to the key phase. It should look something like this.
ssh -vv kevin@gitlab<mailto:kevin@gitlab>
OpenSSH_8.1p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019

In yours you try to connect, and immediately got refused. I don't know much about the windows setup, so can't help on that side.

I am going to try the config file.

I ran

CALL QP2TERM

touch ~/.ssh/config

chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config


EDTF '/home/ROB/.ssh/config'

Host gdl57

HostName gdl57.dekko-1

User rob

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/rob_gdisys.pub

Which begs the question: Do I use the private key or the public key?

Well, I tried both. I still get prompted for the password.


So I did some more reading and tried this:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service ssh-agent


Status Name DisplayName

------ ---- -----------

Stopped ssh-agent OpenSSH Authentication Agent



PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Start-Service ssh-agent

Start-Service : Service 'OpenSSH Authentication Agent (ssh-agent)' cannot be started due to the following error:

Now when I try

CALL QP2TERM

ssh gdl57

I get:

ssh: connect to host gdl57.dekko-1 port 22: Connection refused


So I asked for more detail:

ssh -vvv gdl57
