2. Create an SSH key. Follow these steps if you don't already have an SSH key for an account. If you do have an SSH key and you want to generate another key, you'll have to use the terminal because you can't use Sourcetree to create a second key.

Then, when you create a new Droplet, you can choose to include that public key on the server.

To create a new key pair, select the type of key to generate from the bottom of the screen (using SSH-2 RSA with 2048 bit key size is good for most people; another good well-known alternative is ECDSA). Then click Generate, and start moving the mouse within the Window. Putty uses mouse movements to. »digitaloceansshkey Provides a DigitalOcean SSH key resource to allow you to manage SSH keys for Droplet access. Keys created with this resource can be referenced in your Droplet configuration via their ID or fingerprint. DigitalOcean does not provide an API endpoint to add an ssh-key to an existing droplet. The API will allow you to specify a key when you create a new droplet. Once your droplet has been created you will have to add additional keys manually by adding them to /ssh/authorizedkeys.

Hello,

I’m following this tutorial: digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-14-04

In step four “Add Public Key Authentication” it says “To generate a new key pair, enter the following command at the terminal of your local machine (ie. your computer)”

I enter “ssh-keygen” in my “command prompt” and receive the following error:

operable program or batch file.
