如何在LEMP服务器上禁用私钥授权

Question

I run a LEMP VPS using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I started it with a tutorial, and am starting to learn my way around, but it had me create a private key with putty/pageant. I can really only use Filezilla sftp for transfer and I login to the console w/ putty. However, now I want to start working on some major changes to my website in Dreamweaver CS5 and I want to sync all my files locally but it does not support private key authorization.

My private key is located at

/USER/.ssh/authorized_keys

I tried going into nano and just deleting it but that doesn't work.. I just want to temporarily disable the requirement for private key authorization, not remove it completely.

Answer 1

Editing the authorized_keys file doesn't mean that you can use passwords, it means that you can't login with keys, to use passowrds you need to edit the ssh config it self,

File: /etc/ssh/sshd_config , check the bottom of the file and set this

UsePAM yes
