Hi,

Thank you for the great software (aRDP Pro) that you have made. Our customers need to generate a private key on the device (for security reasons) and mail us the public key. In order to do so it would be great if there was a "generate private key" and "copy public key" buttons that generate and copy the ECDSA key. I hope you can add this to the iOS version (AFAIK the Android version already has such functionality). We tried copy-pasting the key, but people create wrong key types and also make mistakes with copy-pasting, leading to rejection of the SSH key.

Kind regards,

Joost and Maurits van der Schee

Hi @mevdschee this is a great feature request. In the meanwhile, as a workaround, a command like the following:

ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -f /tmp/keyfile1 -N ""

Will generate a key without a passphrase whose private part you can paste right into the application.
