I want to access my server via terminal like this:
ssh username@host.com Password: (enters password) ...
I have access to cpanel for this server. There is a section called “SSH access” where I can create public/private keys. I don’t know how to use them really and I don’t want them currently. I just want to specify my password all the time.
But I don’t see such a config option anywhere.. Where do I look? Can I do this with cpanel only or I need some extra access to this server?
If I try to ssh now, server responds like this:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
Answer
Change PasswordAuthentication no
to PasswordAuthentication yes
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
