While trying to create rsa keypairs for a project inside the project dir I was experimenting with ssh-keygen
's -f
option. When I test it in a freshly created directory everything works as expected, but when I try to use the exact same syntax on another equally permissioned directory ssh-keygen
just keeps telling me No such file or directory.
In a way it is right saying so, because it is supposed to create these files. (The directory in which it shall work exists.)
The syntax I use for key creation is:
ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -f /abspath/id_rsa -N ""
/abspath/
an indication of the command or is it what you actually typed?ssh-keygen
