Can't connect SSH to my droplet

@alexdo no success. I got this error: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

@alexdo thanks. I tried this before, no success (sorry for my poor english). I did this again, but got this error: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Here the debug result;:

I’m getting crazy!

Hello, @rickfontoura

What you can do is to copy your id_rsa.pub file to the server’s authorized_keys file

You can do this using the console from the control panel. You can cat the file locally on the MacOS machine using this command:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

the file’s content should be as follows:

ssh-rsa AAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAmLmwkzQDjEOW1Rj3TP5NldVDqUODVH9xuYrkeaSkxtdP
J8D9Hz+XAWnGAXdaIkCVOw2YEfHKWSo6befgNxiS+AKS+S+wM/bJpc4qOLe5ozFjZPNRHcw5O8WkgP5g
/wg2BOvxBqSKpsSzvi4rYVRLtl7TLVMyajhELiJ9GqT8f25gr3jFmtuQQIkRES1aC4oL2tHsn529POfP

h0aqHanPcU9Ml91ZpMKdpa0+FeVgs2M3LHYTNnvZ76ScV2VtUQwm3YEvjw

You can copy the content of the file and then access the droplet using the console from the control panel. Then you need to open the authorized_keys file using any text editor, e.g nano, vi or vim

nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

You can then paste the previously copied id_rsa.pub key in the file. After that you can save the file and try to connect again.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Regards, Alex
