Autotools SSH key

Recently I have been trying to try and ssh from my android to my linux machines for some basic thing that I do need to manually do everyday and I do not want to use cronjobs as my android do play a certain amount of role in those tasks.

Autotools is using a deprecated authentication format (SSH-RSA) and that would not work on any updated linux machine unless one explicitly weakens the security of that machine (which won't be an issue on a local network but poses high risks when it comes to the ssh over internet) which is not recommended.

I would just request you to look into it cause I have been trying to get this up and running since 2 weeks now (don't judge, I only work on it for like the 1 hr I get for myself in the whole day) and right now the app simply does not get authenticated and there seems to be no workaround without developer's intervention.

I am not sure if this is on your bucket list but I would request you to please check this as this would help the wide community to make use of the feature.


Thank for the help in advance and always a fan of the work.
