Usage burusftp: keygen

NAME

burusftp keygen - Generates SSH private key(s)

OPTIONS

There are two modes of operation for keygen command:

• burusftp keygen --all [<path>]
  • Generates default set of keys to path provided. If path is not provided keys will be exported to keys directory inside configuration directory.
    • Default set consists of these keys:
      • ECDSA with NIST P-256 curve, ED25519 and RSA with 2048 bit length

or

• burusftp keygen [-b <bits>] [-t <keytype>] [-c <curve>] <keyfile>
  • Generates SSH private key and saves it to keyfile
  • -b, --bits <bits>
    • Number of bits in the key to create. Default value depends on type.
  • -t, --type (rsa|dsa|ed25519|ecdsa)
    • Host key algorithm. Default: rsa.
  • -c, --curve (nistp256|nistp384|nistp521)
    • Curve used for ECDSA key. Default: nistp521.

EXAMPLES

• burusftp keygen --all

  • Generate set of keys to /config/keys

• burusftp keygen --all D:\keys

  • Generate set of keys to D:\keys

• burusftp keygen key.ppk

  • Generate 4096-bit RSA key and save it to key.ppk file

• burusftp keygen -t dsa -b 512 key.ppk

  • Generate 512-bit DSA key and save it to key.ppk file.

• burusftp keygen -t ecdsa -c nistp521 key.ppk

  • Generate ECDSA key with NIST P-521 curve and save it to key.ppk file.
