[tmacka88]

any chance you could ru through for a freenas ssh key setup. If you have a freenas. Cause I can't seem to be getting this to work from my mac. when i try to connect it says Permission denied (publickey)

[tmacka88]

how do you create a .ssh directory. cause I'm get this error.

touch: .ssh/authorized_keys: No such file or directory

@tmacka88 "mkdir .ssh" should work. You may also need to do a "chmod 700 .ssh" as well, so that the directory permissions are correct.
