# Import SSH keys

[◀ Go back to main README](/networking/master.md)

## Description

This script imports public SSH keys (files with extension "`pub`") into local store for user authentication.

## Requirements and installation

Just install the script:

```
$ScriptInstallUpdate ssh-keys-import;
```

## Usage and invocation

Copy files with extension "`pub`" containing public SSH keys for your device. Then run the script:

```
/ system script run ssh-keys-import;
```

Starting with an `authorized_keys` file you can split it on a shell:

```
while read type key name; do echo $type $key $name > $name.pub; done < authorized_keys
```
