ssh shortcuts help

I can open the Terminal app on my iMac and MacMini and SSH to my raspberrypi with no problems; connecting or running commands. However when i try to use the Shortscuts app and "Run over SSH" using user and password inputs I get the Error "Run Script Over SSH could not connect to the SSH server." I have been searching for hours for any direction to help correct. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct?

Mac mini, macOS 12.1

Can you connect to this server using your password? Or are you using a public key? Standard practice is to disable password logins in favour of public key.


I recommend using a public key. You can generate one in Shortcuts and then add that to the authorized_keys on the server.
