Hi Guys
Over the past couple of months I have been doing various development and deployment using multiple different machines and have thus created SSH keys for these machines. I wanted to know how I can assign there keys(which I have included on my DigitalOcean) to my older droplets which don’t seem to have access to them.

You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
You can paste in the keys using SSH:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh demo@IP "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
Let me know how it goes.
