Add ssh public key after droplet creation with FileZilla,

Posted on October 27, 2018

Hi there,

I am quite new to Linux and I used FileZilla to add a generated public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in droplet server. However, when I used the Putty to login, it still didn’t require a private key. May I know what step I was missing? Thanks!
