When I try to ssh to my server this happens:
The authenticity of host ‘xx.xxx.xx.xxx (xx.xxx.xx.xxx)’ can’t be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is xx.xxx.xx.xxxxx.xxx.xx.xxxxx.xxx.xx.xxxxx.xxx.xx.xxxxx.xxx.xx.xxx. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added ‘xx.xxx.xx.xxx’ (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey).
I managed to put the same ssh key on my local machine and on my droplet and this happens every time. I tried to google the problem but didn’t find any solution :/

Hi @milann17 ,
I think you need to remove the ssh key from your server (ssh folder) and from your local PC.
Try to login to your server with this tutorial.
Today I create a new droplet. Im trying to connect on terminal with ssh and all is double checked nothing wrong .Server say is Permission denied (publickey).
My old droplet still working very well. I think maybe ubuntu 16.04.2 something wrong.
