While following the tutorial found at https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/transfer-files/ I encountered an issue when trying to upload the SSH key, getting the error message “could not get reply from fzputtygen” after being prompted for my password.

Is there an issue with the password, maybe a typo when creating it? Or does this message point to another problem?

Any help would be appreciated, I’ve tried to solve this for a while now, but I can’t find a similar problem anywhere.

Thanks.
