ssh into mac from raspberry pi

Question

I am trying to mount a shared drive that exists on my mac in my raspberry pi. I tried searching many different threads on stackoverflow and stackexchange and couldn't find any working solutions. I followed this guide: nixCraft sshfs and tried the steps outlined in: SSH Permission denied (publickey) [closed]. I am able to perform the reverse; ssh into rpi from my mac (as well as win10 pc). Apologize if people consider this a duplicate, but I commented on another thread asking for some assistance, however I was told to post a new question.

This is what I tried:

sshfs -o debug [email protected]:/raspi_pyfies ~/mount/ssh_macdr 

which gave me:

FUSE library version: 2.9.9 nullpath_ok: 0 nopath: 0 utime_omit_ok: 0 [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey). read: Connection reset by peer 

I also just tried sshing:

ssh -v [email protected]

and it gave me (last few lines):

debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:##### debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_ecdsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug1: Trying private key: /home/pi/.ssh/id_xmss debug1: No more authentication methods to try. [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey). 

Hopefully someone with experience can shed some light. Thanks.

As noted in one of the answers to your linked question on stackoverflow, run:

ssh-keygen -t rsa 

When it asks for file in which to save the key, enter id_rsa. It's also OK to enter nothing, if you're OK with overwriting them under ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

When it asks for a passphrase, leave it empty.

Concatenate the id_rsa.pub file to the end of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the destination machine. Then test from the originating machine using

ssh -i id_rsa user@host 

If id_rsa is located in ~/.ssh then you can omit the -i option:

ssh user@host 

Then you've verified scp, sftp and sshfs will all work.

Important: ssh will not work if permissions on critical paths are too permissive or too restrictive. The file modes must be set as:

chmod 700 ~/.ssh chmod 644 authorized_keys chmod 600 id_rsa chmod 644 id_rsa.pub
