Hi, 

you probably don't have a key pair on your host PC, so the ssh-keygen-copy-id.bat script can't copy any public key to your App Build Environment. So you have to create the key pair on your host PC first.

  1. Go on your Windows PC to the location where the ssh-keys are stored. In my case its C:/Users/myuser/.ssh
  2. Open a terminal (Command Prompt) here.
  3. Generate a key pair with ssh-keygen -t rsa. (Don't modify the path and don't enter a passphrase)
    ssh-keygen -t rsa
  4. After that you should be able to see the key pair on your PC (id_rsa = private key / id_rsa.pub = public key).
    ssh key pair on the windows host pcssh key pair on the windows host pc

     

  5. You can run the ssh-keygen-copy-id.bat now to copy the public key to the App Build Environment.

Best regards,
