SSH Server: Host Keys Page Settings Description Upload Keys
Private Key Enter the path and name of the existing private key you want to
upload or use the Browse button to select the key. Be sure the
private key will not be compromised in transit. This implies the
data is uploaded over some kind of secure private network or
an HTTPS connection.
Note: You can upload keys that have up to 2048-bit key length.
Public Key Enter the path and name of the existing public key you want to
upload or use the Browse button to select the key.
Key Type Select a key type to be used. Choices are:
RSA = use this key with SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Create New Keys
Key Type Select a key type to be used for the new key. Choices are:
RSA = use this key with the SSH1 and SSH2 protocols.
DSA = use this key with the SSH2 protocol.
Bit Size Select a bit length for the new key. Choices are:
512
768
1024
Using a larger bit size takes more time to generate the key.
Approximate times are:
10 seconds for a 512-bit RSA key
1 minute for a 768-bit RSA key
2 minutes for a 1024-bit RSA key
2 minutes for a 512-bit DSA key
10 minutes for a 768-bit DSA key
15 minutes for a 1024-bit DSA key
Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024
bits long.
