What is the problem you are having with rclone?
On trying to connect to an SSH/SFTP server, I get the error:
public key file is not a certificate file
I created my key pair like this:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 64 -C "my comment" -m pem -f mykey
The -m pem
gives the required PEM encoding. I renamed the private key with a .pem extension.
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version
)
rclone v1.57.0-beta.5698.19fc1b2a9
- os/version: Android 9
- os/kernel: 4.4.78-perf+ (armv8l)
- os/type: android
- os/arch: arm64
- go/version: go1.16.9
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
SSH/SFTP server that runs Linux kernel 5.14 and:
OpenSSH_8.8p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1l 24 Aug 2021
The server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config
contains this option:
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes ssh-ed25519-cert-v01@openssh.com,ssh-ed25519
Therefore, I can only use the ed25519 key type.
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp
)
I am new to rclone. I installed it for the first time. (Installed on Android as per above.) After doing the config steps (rclone config
) I ran:
rclone lsd myconfigname
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
# cat /data/ssh/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
[myconfigname]
type = sftp
host = mysite.com
user = myuser
key_file = ${RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR}/mykey.pem
pubkey_file = ${RCLONE_CONFIG_DIR}/mykey.pub
A log from the command with the -vv
flag
