-FreshTomato includes [[https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html|Dropbear]], an SSH client/server program. Dropbear can generate an encryption KeyPair that offers password-less connections. A command is run on the primary router which generates a public key.  That Public Key must then be pasted into the secondary router’s //Authorized Keys //field, in the SSH Daemon section of the [[:admin_access|Admin Access]] menu.\\  \\ This setup allows a primary router, (the "SSH Client") to control a secondary router (the "SSH Host"), from the command-line.+This setup allows a primary router, (the "SSH Client") to control a secondary router (the "SSH Host"), from the command-line, via an encrypted connection.
