SSH key storage

Along with configuration, termscp provides an essential feature for SFTP/SCP clients: the SSH key storage.

To access the SSH key storage, enter the configuration and move to the SSH Keys tab.

Manage keys

From the SSH Keys tab you can:

  • Add a new key: press <CTRL+N>. You are prompted to provide the hostname/IP address and the username associated with the key, then a text editor opens: paste the private SSH key into the editor, save and quit.
  • Remove an existing key: press <DEL> or <CTRL+E> on the key you want to remove to delete it persistently from termscp.
  • Edit an existing key: press <ENTER> on the key you want to edit to change the private key.

Password-protected keys

Password-protected private keys are supported. The password you provide for authentication in termscp is valid both for username/password authentication and for key authentication.
