    putty with send-to-tray options. Was useful pre Windows 10 :-D

    also session/connection filter I think, kinda helps - when I type "VirMach" I only have like 12 entries on the list rather than 30 normally :-D

    Why even use Putty

    Even windows can handle .ssh/config now right

    Only took them 30 years but it was worth it

    Keep things simple IMO

    because i don't know how to connect with an ssh key using command prompt but i CAN do it with a password

    Inside .ssh/config you just reference location of your key

    No won’t ever have to enter it when ssh’ing in, it’ll look like magic

    I think Putty has a separate program for keygen

    Windows can’t do it straight from terminal? Noobs

    and YET people ask why the fuck i'm using passwords for $7 VPS's

    Just ask chatgpt how to:
    1. Generate a ed25519 keypair on windows
    2. Setup .ssh/config on windows

    Once you’ve fone that, everything will be a breeze I promise you

    you're starting to sound like an underpants gnome now

    Yes, or, easier, just sync the .ssh folder using any cloud service, it dosen't contain any secrets anyway

    This is mine:

    Host xyz1
    HostName xxx
    User root 
    Port xxx
    UseKeychain yes   
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Host xyz2
    HostName xxx
    User root
    Port xxx
    UseKeychain yes
    AddKeysToAgent yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

    If I type 'ssh xyz1' I just go straight in

    yes

    So do baby changes.
    create ssh keypair
    Add it to the servers from one machine
    On the next machine you just put the same keypair in the ssh folder

    Now you can connect the same with way
    ssh user@ip
    But no password asked

    No need for config file (yet) if you use the default keypair names and are fine with needing to type the user@ip stuff
