Connecting to the server through SSH using a public key

I am working on one application for the iPhone on which we need to use SSH integration. I have a demo that can connect a server with a password, but I can’t get how to connect it using a public key.

I can connect it through the MAC terminal using the command below.

ssh -i (KeyFilePath) username @ (domain or IP name)

But unfortunately, I cannot connect using Xcode.

Thanks,

You might want to first add the private key (or keys) to the authentication agent. From now on, all ssh commands will reuse the cached key:

# Add a new key to the authentication agent $ ssh-add <path to private key> # List current keys $ ssh-add -l # Delete all loaded keys $ ssh-add -D # Add a new key and store the passphrase in your keychain $ ssh-add -K <path to private key1> $ ssh-add -K <path to private key2> # After storing the private keys passphrase in the keychain, # you can load them all, at any time $ ssh-add -k

When the authentication agent has a private key, you can use Xcode to connect to the domain or IP address without problems.
