Question : Problem: Location of authorized_keys file
I just set up my first SFTP server (SSHWindows or OpenSSH for Windows) on a client Windows 2000 Server. Here's where things stand:
1. Installation complete.
2. Password file is setup.
3. Home directory changed to a Windows share named S
FTP
.
4. Firewall setup for Port 22.
5. Successful client logon using Filezilla from my home network with a user / password combo.
6. EE expert DaveHowe provided me with a very useful explanation of the SFTP public key / private key concept and the authorized_keys file. Dave suggested that I place the public key in $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
or in an alternate location if my server isn't a "true" SSH server.
7. I poked around a bit on the server. I ran ssh-keygen and produced authorized_keys and authorized_keys.pub files in the ...\OpenSSH\bin folder. Will the files work from this location? (I suspect they won't.) I'm unable to create $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
because ".ssh" is an invalid name for a Windows folder.
8. I'm also struggling with Filezilla. I couldn't locate a way to reference a private key using the Site Manager. Is this functionality beyond Filezilla?
Answer : Problem: Location of authorized_keys file
On second thought - You can keep keys wherever You want (ssh -i path-to-key).
And for authorized_keys, there server config option
AuthorizedKeysFile D:\sftp\%u\.ssh
