# Configure ssh keys in Mikrotik
|
|
|
|
```mikrotik
|
|
# Create a dummy file
|
|
/file print file=dummyFile
|
|
# Set its content to the public key
|
|
/file set dummyFile.txt contents="ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA7QEcjRkbBWpwE7zIShobue9aEGyVObVHDLhK"
|
|
# Assign public key to user
|
|
/user ssh-keys import public-key-file=dummyFile.txt user=admin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change the *public key*, and *user* accordingly
