Hi,
I’m new to Digital Ocean and SSH and ran into a problem when I tried to save a newly generated SSH key meant for business use on my computer. I already have one SSH key meant for personal use stored on my computer and when I tried saving the second SSH key into a separate file in the .ssh folder it wouldn’t do the job.
Any suggestions on how to overtake this?
Cheers!
