This article is the fifth of a series I’ve written about migrating from using PuTTy on Windows to using the native OpenSSH client now available on Windows 10: you can read the rest of the articles via:
- Installation
- Storing keys using the SSH Agent
- Importing existing keys
- Creating a new public/private key pair
- Other useful OpenSSH commands < You are here
- Configuring Windows Git
- Check the keys have been imported to the SSH agent
ssh-add -l2048 SHA256:9hLEuBRdTBGDmAWxaDXhSwvqYLGVxDVtGiMumz9NUak C:\Users\userName/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
- Show the public keys in the ssh-agent
ssh-add -Lssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza...1F53nyTYMlmtcrZZp C:\Users\userName/.ssh/id_rsa
- Delete all keys from the ssh-agent
ssh-add -D: hope you kept a backup!- Delete a specific key from the ssh-agent
ssh-add -d C:\Users\userName/.ssh/id_rsa
This post is over 6 months old.
This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate.
This blog holds over 12 years of archived content - during that time, I may have changed my opinion of something, technology will have advanced (and old "best standards" may no longer be the case), my technology "know how" has improved etc etc - it would probably take me a considerable amount of time to update all the archival entries: and defeat the point of keeping them anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey and "caveat emptor".
