Once you create the ssh keys, you’ll want to view the contents of the *.pub file (however you named it). Open it up and copy the entire contents.

For a 2.x Embassy, go to your Embassy and click the Embassy index and then click Developer Options and then SSH. Add a key and then paste the key into the text box and save it. You should now be able to ssh into the Embassy via a terminal by typing:
ssh pi@<lanurl> (ie start8dhf657.local)

For 3.x Embassy, go to your Embassy and click the Embassy index and then click SSH. Add a new key and then paste the key into the text box and save it. You should now be able to ssh into the Embassy via a terminal by typing:
ssh root@<lanurl> (ie embassy8dhf657.local)

You’ll want to confirm with ‘yes’ to allow the connection and save the address as a known_host. You should be connected to your home directory in the Embassy.
