i setup 2 droplets in LON1 with the same SSH key and private network enabled.
I can connect just fine to both of them from kitty via ssh, and all it ask is username (root).
But if i try to scp or ssh from inside one droplet to another, it keeps asking for a password, which i never set.

When I have had that happen, the problem has usually been related to permissions on the key.
