On Mac, Windows and Linux computers
Open a new terminal
Run the command
mkdir ~/.ssh/evaluagent
You should see a new directory has been created
Run the command
ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa
Enter the location that you want to save your keys in (~ may not work. If it doesn't, use your users home directory e.g /Users/username)
~/.ssh/evaluagent/sftp
Leave the passphrase blank (hit ⏎)
Confirm the blank passphrase (hit ⏎)
Your public key will be saved and then the location you entered above i.e evaluagent/sftp
To retrieve your public key
On Mac/Linux, run
cat ~/.ssh/evaluagent/sftp.pub
On Windows, run
~/.ssh/evaluagent/sftp.pub
Copy the key by selecting and copying the key
Never share the private key publicly (~/.ssh/evaluagent/sftp)
