How to generate RSA key?

Some implementations of ssh-keygen (such as Mac OS X) will create the folder for you while generating the keys. If unsure, make one with “mkdir -m 700 ~/.ssh”. Generate the keys with ssh-keygen.

Press Enter to accept the default location and filename ( ~/.ssh/id_rsa ). Then you will be prompted to create a passphrase for unlocking the private key. The corresponding public key will be stored in the same place and same name with “ .pub ” appended. Here's what the key generation looks like:

Can you connect to Emby server from home?

Emby Server also allows you to connect when away from home. We call these external connections because they're out of our home network. Before we begin, we'll assume everything covered above in the In-Network Connections section is functioning correctly with your Emby Server, and that you're able to connect using other devices in your home network. If not, then you'll want to go over that section first.

Optional Network Paths

By allowing Emby apps direct access to media folders on the server, they may be able to play them directly over the network and avoid using server resources to stream and transcode. Optional Network Paths can help achieve this without having to change your local mount points.

Example

You have a Movies library on the server using C:\Movies. This folder is also shared on the network with a share name of "Movies-C". The UNC format of this resource would then be similar to \\SERVER\Movies-C
