I have been given the following information by a server manager and they seem to think this is all I need in order to connect to their server:
- Server IP Address
- Username
- Private Key Passphrase
- SSH-RSA Key (I assume this is the public key?)
The information below is not real, but this is essentially what I received:
64.212.2.15, admin Private Key Passphrase: Ro3ms4Ye1t3JwxYveOtgr£Pote
ssh-rsa AAAAT3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCJn95BV7E7fbRKQBzxBUM5Y6EpD1ZCMPoAsaRYHTTQYR+MhVzvMfgq84gDaOW9edCyAZRfegC44VNizR1itikd8BkBgjTiEpgVHcMDCOchGtYzWHSTmHNUbsOTYb/exvooPu/4DqbKC7z/ia9Bb49ZMR+qQabrDAR4LdnSyfzVJ5vuDJu+NIM9zcgIoOV4hcPeAKZg2/6BQmMRWrXiOfZUdqS550aUjZExKQ2s+DldJFI3SGVeVXwrqjFh4fSOiRPOI7whYzcFkjwBVKhiCEsXcT6nvGtaqBpEubXq+HQ/l4J/6Cl9MAT0zFEWtFDXNjE+S7kcmpeOYCENc+NYAHbQ

I can only find instructions online about generating a new key pair, and no instructions about what to do when the public key is given to me directly.... and what to do with the private key passphrase? Can anyone help? I am using Terminal.
Thanks
