You often need to create identities for unknown/new servers. Then welcome to this article. I believe i have a best practice way of doing it on a MAC system. First of all you need your identity file: 1. Generating ssh keys set You need to use tool that any unix system usually has. It's ssh-keygen. (Skip if you have it already) Last login: Wed Aug 21 16 : 07 : 34 on ttys002 console@username:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/Users /username/ .ssh/id_rsa): yourkeyname Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in yourkeyname.

I had a problem "Unauthorized" in official twitter client for Mac. Tried several instal/reinstall. Deleted/Downloaded again from Apple App Store. It all didn't help. They seem to change something in authentication. So I've tried deleting all the config files in ~/Library/ Main solution that helped me: 1. Switch off the client. (be sure to Close an app) 2. Delete: ~/Library/Preferences/com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist.lockfile ~/Library/Preferences/com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist 3. Launch Twitter app and login from scratch. I have revoked access this twitter client too in my https://twitter.com/settings/applications  but it seem to make no effect. Making similar actions to TweetDeck for Mac does not help. So it seems like problem is somewhere deeper. Hope it will help you solve similar issue.

Some time ago Google engineers released a package for Mac's to mount remote filesystems, using lots of methods, including SSH.     This software is called MacFuse. It connects remote filesystems to your Mac's finder. You will see it in your computer as a regular Mac's network drive.     MacFuse has developed to the point, where it's extremely easy to "make it work". This is the way:     1. Install MacFuse and SSHFS. at the time of writing this article version is  MacFUSE-2.0.3,2.dmg  and you can  dow...
