Key-Pair Setup

-

As of the server move in spring 2019 you need authorisation on the expo server to log in. This takes the form of an ssh key. You generate a key-pair on the machine you use for access, then send the public half to the server. Once done all logins are automatic - no passwords needed.

As of the server move in spring 2019 you need authorisation on the expo server to log in to get 'programmer access'. (This is not the same as logging in to the website as 'expo', which you can do with just the password.)This takes the form of an ssh key. You generate a key-pair on the machine you use for access, then send the public half to the server. Once done all logins are automatic - no passwords needed.

'ssh' is 'secure shell' and is widely used for secure access to machines and services.
