Question
Paste a SSH key into authorized_keys file?
I’m following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-ssh-keys-with-putty-to-connect-to-a-vps, to set up my ssh keys so I can use filezilla. It one point, some ssh keys get pasted into vim. the instructions say os it i, then right-click. When I do that, nothing happens. Any ideas??

Have you copied the public key to your clipboard before right-clicking in Putty?
Yes. copied it to the clipboard, and double checked by pasting it into notepad.
Forget about vim. Vim is completely unfriendly for beginers. Better use nano instead.
Can you paste in nano?
