when i enter ssh root@your_droplet_ip all i get is Permission denied (publickey) can anyone help with this?

eval `ssh-agent`

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

I am assuming your key file is name id_rsa

root@ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-lon1-01:~# eval ssh-agent Agent pid 1666 root@ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-lon1-01:~# ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa /root/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory

that’s what I get back

root@ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-lon1-01:~# ssh-agent

SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-gsyd8lctjfdv/agent.12627; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; SSH_AGENT_PID=12628; export SSH_AGENT_PID; echo Agent pid 12628;

root@ubuntu-s-2vcpu-4gb-lon1-01:~# ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
