id_rsa
and id_rsa.pub
are located in K:\Batch\mySSH
, with script K:\Batch\mySSH\runme.cmd
being called from Excel (via VBA), containing the following:
pushd %~dp0
set home=%CD:~0,2%\Batch\mySSH
%home%\ssh -v -o LogLevel=Verbose [email protected] "do something"
popd
runme.cmd
output:OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 2.9.2 debug1: Connecting to 11.111.111.11 [11.111.111.11] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\johnDoe/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 ... debug1: pubkey_prepare: ssh_get_authentication_socket: No such file or directory debug1: Will attempt key: C:\\Users\\johnDoe/.ssh/id_rsa ... debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: C:\\Users\\johnDoe/.ssh/id_rsa
How do I ensure it looks for K:\Batch\mySSH\.ssh\id_rsa
, instead of targeting C:\Users\johnDoe\.ssh
?
