Networking and servers • Re: Raspberry Pi 4 Computer Module and SSH keys

2) On the RPi, edit sshd_config file to uncomment out these lines making them active:

That is not necessary. The comments are the options that are active by default.

PS C:\Users\Serf201\.ssh> ssh pi@192.168.1.15 mkdir ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

authorized_keys must be a regular file, not a directory. If you only want one key you can just copy the .pub file under the name "authorized_keys". Otherwise you have to edit the file to contain multiple public keys, one per line. (OpenSSH has a helper program ssh-copy-id, not sure about Windows.)

PS C:\Users\Serf201\.ssh> scp id_rsa.pub pi@192.168.1.15:~\.ssh\authorized_keys

Did you really type that with the slashes the wrong way? Does Windows correct that, because Linux will not.
