ssh: permission denied (publickey)
Hi,
I tried to ssh into my 314, root@192.168.x.x
I got a message saying, from memory, did I want to import the certificate (yes,no)
Replied yes
But now what happens is:
ssh root@192.168.x.x
root@192.168.x.x: Permission denied (publickey).
I've never come accross this before. Any help, please? (Unsuccessful on google & netgear)
Regards,
david
One thing you could try is deleting the known_hosts file in the pc.
This is in c:\users\user-name\.ssh (which is a hidden folder). You'll get the prompt on whether you want to trust the NAS again after you do this.

Check that "password authentication" is checked in the SSH settings in system->settings->services.

Was this the first time you used ssh to connect to the NAS on this PC? There will be a prompt asking asking if you trust the NAS, and showing you some fingerprint information. Importing the certificate allows you to avoid that prompt in the future.
When you enabled SSH, did yoiu check the "Enable password authentication" box?
Hi StephenB,
Yes - it is and was.
