Connect to your BB10 device through ssh

ssh-to-bb10

Create session using blackberry-connect, this tool resides inside your SDK dirs, the host dir i.e 
  $(BBSDK)/host_10_0_9_404/darwin/x86/usr/bin/blackberry-connect

  $ blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password <password> -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa

Then,
  create a config file inside ~/.ssh folder
  
  Host bb10
      HostName 169.254.0.1
      User devuser
      IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa

  $ ssh bb10

DONE!

can you help me about my problem?

Rischans-MacBook:bin macintosh$ ./blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password rischan -sshPublicKey /Users/macintosh/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

solved => use -b 4096
ex : ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "rischanlab@gmail.com" -b 4096

You can generate the keys with putty as well, while keeping the same key length, that is 4096. A detailed guide is available here: http://www.pocketmagic.net/2013/07/ssh-to-the-blackberry-z10-guide/
Just an alternative in case anyone needs it.

I think that the command should be:

blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa.pub

And not:

blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa

Since you need to send the public key to the device, but the local machine should use the private key

Hi,
may I ask some help about the following issue ?

Using the following command,
./blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password mypassword -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

I always get ;
Info: Connecting to target 169.254.0.1:4455
Error: Connection failed: connect timed out

I've setup developper mode on my target device, nmap on host confirms that 169.254.0.1 is up, 1000 ports filtered ..
telnet 169.254.0.1 4455 obviously times out as well...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
