×Alright, this is the way I solved it:
1.- Paste your PUBLIC ssh key in http://pastebin.com and get the raw version of your paste, example:
http://pastebin.com/raw/Xb1PY53SD (If you dont remember your public key, simply load your private key into PuTTYgen and copy the content that says “public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file”)
2.- Then login to the online console and find your authorizedkeys file, it is by default in “~/.ssh/authorizedkeys” (the ~ stands for your HOME enviroment variable in my case it is “/root”)
3.- In the folder where is your authorizedkeys file execute this command: “`wget ’ http://pastebin.com/raw/yourrawid’ -O authorizedkeys”` (remember to replace the raw pastebin link with your own)
Hope it helps
There are typos, where it says:
authorizedkeys
I mean:
authorized_keys
