setting up ssh keys for cr-48

0

I have a cr-48 chromebook. I'm here in crosh. I'm trying to ssh into my server so i can work remotely.

Anyone know if theres an easy way to setup ssh-key's? So i could possibly just ssh without a password? Or if google stripped out this functionality. According to the manual it looks like this command isn't packed into the chrome os.

You'll notice if you go to crosh and type 'ssh' then 'help' one of the options listed allows you to specify a keyfile:

key <file>

It also states "Key files must reside in /media or /home/chronos/user. Key files in the Downloads directory may be specified with an unqualified name."

I don't believe there is currently a utility to generate keyfiles, unfortunately.
