# Setup SSH Keys
To be able to gain remote access to the Skynet.
``$USERNAME`` Refers to your Skynet username, for example I would replace ``$USERNAME`` with ``silver``
## Create Key
First we set up the ssh folder and create a skynet folder within it for neatness
```bash
mkdir -f -p ~/.ssh/skynet
cd ~/.ssh/skynet
```
Now we will create the ssh key itself.
Location: ``$USERNAME``, your skynet username.
Password: Press Enter twice for no password on the key.
```bash
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "<comment>"
```
It will create two files: ``$USERNAME`` and ``$USERNAME.pub`` inside ``~/.ssh/skynet``
### Linux Only
Openssh will complain if the keys permissions are too permissive.
To fix this use
```bash
chmod 600 $USERNAME
# or
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/skynet/$USERNAME
```
## Create Config
Above we created a folder for Skynet keys.
Ye can do the same with Gitlab/Github/... in the future.
The only downside is that we now have to tell ssh what key to use in what situation.
Back up to the ``.ssh`` folder.
```bash
cd ../
# or
cd ~/.ssh
```
Now we have to create the config file.
Notice how it has no extension.
### Windows
```powershell
"" > config
```
Open it up in any text editor available to you.
### Linux
```bash
touch config
```
You can edit it from command line using nano
```bash
nano config
```
Or open up in a text editor.
### Windows/Linux
This is what we want to have in teh file.
```
Host *.skynet.ie
User $USERNAME
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/skynet/$USERNAME
IdentitiesOnly yes
```
## Add key to account
Go to [the modify SSH page](https://account.skynet.ie/modify_ssh) and paste in teh contents of ``$USERNAME.pub``.
You will now be able to SSH into Skynet like so:
```bash
ssh $USERNAME@skynet.skynet.ie
```
