So I have an SSH key-pair set up on my computer to access my Google Cloud hosting via SFTP.
I want to give access to an SEO company. Can I just send them the two key files FileZilla generated, and tell them my username to log on?
I don't quite now how to add a new user with their own SSH key pair, but my set up works fine. I just want to mirror this.
Is this possible? Any simple advice is greatly appreciated thanks.
OR, what I'd like to do is just give them a standard FTP logon. I have an FTP firewall rule set up GC, but when I try to connect I just get the connection refused
message.
Any ideas on this solution would also be greatly appreciated.
What are my options here that are the most simple in terms of execution?
man useradd
for how to add a user, then have them provide a public key and put it in/home/your-new-user/.ssh/authorized_keys
.ssh-keygen
on any Linux/OSX box. Putty can be used on Windows.authorized_keys
file, but you should note that this will give them full access, including the ability to remove your key. SEO's sleazy enough that I'd personally never permit that.
