Question
Invalid base ssh key Error message when adding ssh key on droplet creation.
I have created a public and private key using Puttygen. I added public key to digital ocean. I then create a droplet and select the saved ssh key. When I then select to create the droplet I get an error message.
The error message is " Invalid Base SSH Key".
Can someone advise please?
Thank you
Colin

PuTTYgen adds a comment to public key file near the end which looks like this rsa-key-20180826. You may need remove it.
