SSH Key Publisher

Description

The SSH Key Publisher script automates the process of uploading a public SSH key to a remote server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. It also allows the creation of a quick connection alias in the ~/.ssh/config file for easy access.

Features

• Uploads a public SSH key to a remote server.
• Option to create a quick SSH connection alias.
• Lists existing SSH keys for selection.
• Supports password-based authentication.
• Validates provided SSH keys.

Usage

To use the SSH Key Publisher script, run the following command:

./publish_key.sh --help

# Options:

- `--help` Show this help message and exit.
- `--no-alias` Skip adding an alias to the `~/.ssh/config` file.
- `-h`, `--host` Specify the remote host (hostname or IP address).
- `-u`, `--user` Specify the remote user.
- `-i`, `--key` Path to the public key file (optional).
- `-a`, `--alias` Alias for quick SSH connection (optional).
- `-p` The password for the remote user (if applicable).

List and connect to ssh alias

The list_ssh_aliases.sh script displays all current SSH aliases stored in the ~/.ssh/config file in a neatly formatted table. It allows users to easily identify their SSH configurations and quickly connect to a desired host by selecting the corresponding entry number.

Features

• Lists all SSH aliases along with their corresponding hosts and users in a structured format.
• Automatically establishes an SSH connection to the selected host using the appropriate user.

Usage

• bash ./list_ssh_aliases.sh
