Upload Public SSH Key to Yolo

There is no front-end to your capsul. All access to it will be remote, for example, with ssh. You need to create SSH keys and upload them to your account before you can create your capsul.

Create SSH Keys on your local Windows computer. This guide explains how to do so using Window's built-in OpenSSH feature. If you prefer PuTTY, you can skip these steps and use that instead.

1. Open an Administrator PowerShell window.

2. Use the get-WindowsCapability command to find out if Windows already has the OpenSSH client installed. If you see "State : Installed" in the response, you don't need to add it. If it is not installed, use the Add-WindowsCapability command to add it.

3. Use the Windows command line:

   1. Open a cmd.exe window.
   2. cd to your home directory. In this example, the home directory is c:\users\userid.
   3. Use dir to discover if you already have a .ssh subdirectory in your home directory.
   4. If necessary, use mkdir .ssh to create the subdirectory.
   5. Run ssh-keygen.exe to generate an SSH key pair. Press enter key to accept the default filename. Press enter key twice to skip adding a passphrase. Your key pair identification is then saved in the .ssh subdirectory. You will see a key fingerprint ending in your-Windows-username@your-Windows-hostname. You'll also see the key's randomart image.

4. Launch Notepad.exe and open file c:\users\userid\.ssh\id_rsa.pub. Select all of the file's contents and copy to the clipboard.

5. Go to the SSH PUBLIC KEYS page in your browser. You'll see a box labeled File Contents. Paste your public key from the clipboard into the box. Then, click the Upload button.

6. Your uploaded public key will appear near the top of the page.
