How do I generate a key? I know you type ssh-keygen, but where in AbsoluteTelnet is this done?

ssh-keygen is a host program that you can run once you've already connected to your host. Once you create the keys there, you can copy the private key back to your client computer and use the key authentication mechanisms of AbsoluteTelnet to login.

AbsoluteTelnet 1.84 does not yet have the capability to generate it's own keys. Version 1.85 *will* have this capability, but the functionality is still in beta test mode. Are you interested in trying it out?
