# su - <user name> $ ssh-keygen -t ecdsa Generating public/private ecdsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/huong/.ssh/id_ecdsa): <Enter> Created directory '/home/huong/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <any password> Enter same passphrase again: <again same password> Your identification has been saved in /home/huong/.ssh/id_ecdsa Your public key has been saved in /home/huong/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub The key fingerprint is: SHA256:Ny30WR280uUqLAcsRkI55snlQRf0xNL1rnsj1MvwVLo huong@Lepard The key's randomart image is: +---[ECDSA 256]---+ | ..o..++..o. | | = +..oo +o| | + B o... o.=| | + +.oo + +o| | .S.+o+ ooo| | ..o+oo+ | | o..*..| | .E*.| | o..| +----[SHA256]-----+ |

# systemctl restart sshd.service |
Copy the private key to the client PC (using WinSCP) Set up WinSCP
①Start WinSCP, configure the following settings in "New Site" and click "Save"
Host name : Server IP Address
Port number : SSH port number
User name : General username
Password : General username Password
Any connection name ↓
You will be returned to the following screen.「Login」 ↓
If the following screen appears, say "Yes." ↓
In the following screen, enter the user's password in the "Pasword" field.
Copy id_ecdsa in "/home/<user name>/.ssh" directory to any location on the windows side.(Select id_ecdsa, drag & copy to the left)
3.Change to log in only with private key

4.Creating a private key using PuTTYgen
Start Winscp, select the appropriate server, and launch Run PuTTYgen from Tools.
Click Load [ Open File Dialog ], change the file type to [ All Files (*. Change the file type to [ All Files (*. *) ] and load the private key id_ecdsa transferred from the Linux server.
Enter the passphrase you entered when you created the private key on the server side
Click the [ OK ] button when the following appears
Click the [ Save private key ] button to save the private key.
Here we save it as id_ecdsa.ppk (in Windows).
Connect to SSH server with private key
Start Winscp, specify the target server, open "Edit", "Advanced", and "Authentication".
Specify id_ecdsa.ppk saved in windows in the "Private key file" field.
Enter the passphrase you entered when you created the private key on the server side
When connecting with Tera Term, use the following
Use RSA/DSA/ECDSA/..." Specify "id_ecdsa.ppk" saved in windows in the "Use RSA/DSA/ECDSA/..." field.
This completes the security configuration for the SSH service.
