Authentication by SSH (Linux)
To connect to the source server by SSH:
- Make sure that an RSA key pair without a passphrase exists on the target Plesk server (the server where Plesk Migrator is installed).
If not, use the
ssh-keygen
utility to generate it:
During the key pair generation, specify the directory for storing it (usually it is /root/.ssh/id_rsa
) and do not enter a passphrase.
- Copy the public key to the source server using the command:
Where <root user name>
is the name of the user with UID=0 (usually it is root
) and <IP address>
is the IP address of the source server.
For example:
- When starting a new migration, select the SSH keys authorization and specify the absolute path to the private RSA key on the target Plesk server. For example:
/root/.ssh/id_rsa
.
