Hi @bizcraf24,

It seems like you can only SSH in your droplet using SSH keys, you need to put your idrsa.pub file contents in your ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys file.

If this is still not working, try with the following suggestions

  • Your home directory ~, your ~/.ssh directory and the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the remote machine must be writable only by you: rwx------ andrwxr-xr-x are fine, but rwxrwx---is no good, even if you are the only user in your group (if you prefer numeric modes: 700 or 755, not 775).
  • If~/.ssh or authorized_keys is a symbolic link, the canonical path (with symbolic links expanded) is checked.
  • Your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file (on the remote machine) must be readable (at least 400), but you’ll need it to be also writable (600) if you will add any more keys to it.
  • Your private key file (on the local machine) must be readable and writable only by you: rw——-, i.e. 600.

Regards,
KDSys
