I'm using an Android app called Connectbot to ssh into my server running Ubuntu, but I can't figure out how to upload the public key. I've generated the key, but now I don't know what to do. Do you have any experience with this?

Have you tried connecting this to a PC? I've connected phones through USB for instance and they show up as a drive letting me copy files to them

@@TechTutorialsDavidMcKone I actually don't have a PC at the moment, just my phone. That's why I'm using that app. I've looked up tutorials, but none of them seem to be working for me. I reached out to the app devs for instructions, so hopefully they'll get back to me soon. Thanks so much!

Well you could copy it using scp if you've already got SSH access because SCP uses SSH to transfer files. I've never used Connectbot myself but noticed an app called VX ConnectBot in the Android store that supports scp. Is that the same one?
