Hey Guys,

I recently did a fresh OS install on my local machine and forgot to backup my SSH Keys. I generated a new SSH Key on my now "NEW" machine and copied the public ssh_key to /Home/USER/.ssh/authorized_keys however I am still unable to SSH into the Server, The connection continues to time out... Has anyone had any similar problems?

Thank you in advance.

You should add your ssh private key to your ssh-agent
First check if your ssh-agent is running, then ssh-add you private key
