SSH secured by public key?

Post by zubi »

Guys,
I don't see any option to input a public key in SSH and connect to a secure tunnel with putty from a remote place. I'm going to China and I need some advise with this connection.
How secure is without a key?
Do I have an option to secure it with a rsa public key like in other OpenWrt builds?
Thank you
(using TP-Link1043 with Gargoyle 1.4.7)

I was able to do so by following the directions in the OpenWRT wiki http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/Dropbea ... ationHowto. I followed the Linux directions, but used a Mac instead.

Thank you. Good info.
Hope will have an easy GUI option in future Gargoyle builds.
