SSH Key Transmitter

Bored to log in to remote servers through SSH every time using username/password combination?

This simple app will help you to transmit your SSH Public Key to your hosts.

Need to connect through SOCKS5 proxy? No worries, it will do the job.

Sidenote: No really practical use case for this app, but it was fun to write it.

$ python3 ssh-key-transmit.py -hosts 10.10.10.10 -u tropicoo -p my_passwd -pk id_rsa_2048_ubuntu.pub --socks-host 127.0.0.1 --socks-port 1080
