I made an account with rsync.net for backups but am having issues setting them up with the GNOME Project's Pika Backup.

I set the location as: ssh://<username>@<username>.rsync.net/~/Backups

However, the application produces the error:

Failed to Initialize Repository
Connection closed by remote host: "Remote: <username>@<username>.rsync.net: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive."

How do I add my SSH password or key to Pika Backup?

  • @cas Pika Backup is part of the GNOME Project (a primarily GNU/Linux organization creating and supporting various tools and resources). I have updated the question to hopefully make this more clear. Commented Sep 7 at 21:58

A careful reading of man ssh, shows us

~/.ssh/config This is the per-user configuration file. The file format and configuration options are described in ssh_config(5). Because of the potential for abuse, this file must have strict permissions: read/write for the user, and not writable by others.

The Host directive lets you setup per host options.
