I’ve never seen something like this.
I open the my Ubuntu console, it works (barely)
I tried to copy a SSH key via the clipboard, since nothing else works
It translates the lower case to upper case
This is what I’m copying: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAhv+3iCamfYpQlUBxsMcIsbSFZZcQADlu2ft6nibKukgdrt0wsC38yYMU9MzCk9R8t937E8TXTkmqvUH9djT/b6R
This is what the POS of a terminal copies: SSH-RSA aaaab4nZAc1YC…
Can somebody try to explain?

Hello, all
Keep in mind that you can also put the key in a file hosted on any Dropbox or remote server and then you can just download it via the console using curl
or wget
This should do the job for you as well.
The other option is to temporary enable the PasswordAuthentication
from no to yes in order to access your droplet using password and then once you’ve entered your key to disable the PasswordAuthentication again. This way is considered more secure than uploading the key to a Dropbox in case you don’t have any other server to us.
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication
from “no” to “yes” and save the file- systemctl restart sshd.service
sudo nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication
from “yes” to “no” and save the fileHope that this helps! Regards, Alex
This problem is so annoying, here’s how I got round it:
copy your ssh key into Notepad++, select all text, go to: Edit > Convert Case to > iNVERT cASE
Now copy and paste the inverted key into the Digital Ocean console, which will invert it back to the original.
Ugh.
It’s a joke isn’t it? 2020 boyzz and we can’t paste public key, but have to upload those to some public shit and curl them on server. RIDICOULOUS
Hi,
Are you using the console within the Digital Ocean dashboard (opens in the browser) or locally on your machine?
