Apache

Previously I could connect with PuTTY easily. Now that I’ve updated it I cannot connect.

PuTTY tells me there was a connection time out

Hi there,

The error message that you are getting indicates that you are not using the correct SSH key. I could suggest making sure that you’ve selected the correct key and then trying again.

In case that it still does not work, you could follow the steps here on how to regain access to your Droplet in case of lost SSH keys:

Hello, @ilovemycat666

You can check our article on How to Upload an SSH Public Key to an Existing Droplet

https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/to-existing-droplet/

You can access the droplet from the DigitalOcean console and then temporary enable the PasswordAuthentication on your droplet and access the droplet with a password to upload the ssh-key.

You can upload the key using this command:

  • ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/mykey user@droplet

Regards,
Alex
