My colleague has provided me with an SSH key pair files (public key and private key files) to be used to connect to a remote Linux server, that has the public key in its authorized_keys
File.
I’m currently using windows 10, and I have openSSH client already installed on my machine.
I’m not sure how SSH works exactly, but I want to know how to make my openSSH client knows about the public and private keys I have, and make it use them to connect to the remote server.
Note: my openSSH client is currently working with an existing key pair id_rsa
to connect with my Gitlab account.
