Accessing Reclaim Cloud Containers by SSH and SFTP using Public and Private Keys

Goodness, I hate working with public and private keys. But that's the only way to access Reclaim containers by SSH (for SSH file transfer and SSH terminal access). I'm using WinSCP for SFTP access and Powershell for SSH. You have to install OpenSSH in Windows to get it to work. The process has three parts: - create the keys (public and private) - register the keys with Reclaim - use the keys to access the site Create the Keys You can create the keys in PowerShell using OpenSSH. Instructions here .  - Open Powershell and type the command:           ssh-keygen -b 4096 When it asks for a file name, type whatever you want (I typed: reclaim ). This will create two files: a public file and a private file. Here's what it looks like running this: You may wonder where the keys are (I know I did). They are in your home directory, in my case, in:     C:\Users\steph\ Note: your files might save in a .ssh subdirectory. You might not be able to see this directory, but it's there.
