My goal is actually just to download the grub repository so I can compile it. To that end, I'm following the suggestion to execute this
scp -r freeba...@bzr.savannah.gnu.org:/srv/bzr/grub my-repo If I can get a copy without using ssh with scp, then the following may be unnecessary. Otherwise, please help me configure ssh. I am a noob, and so I have invested some time in trying to learn my way to a solution, and I've made some good progress, but now I'm stumped. I created my RSA1 key-pair using ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 and the result is a pair of key files in ~/.ssh/ identity identity.pub The public key is 1024 35 124285146596762189900658593144342757518392582127925321855778530879606311963865637628558669565033224578113961688067059775946123142568537171844637273276460335200964706217068275413009335427258281830364133896513636014706015579894229335135327572626994136777410126129008726502481953955154991368968050672733467855197 It doesn't begin ssh-rsa as your example key does?
