ssh

Trying to ssh to server but error in libcrypto

i tried ssh into server as always:

$ ssh host

but got this error message.

Load key "/home/user/.ssh/id_ed25519": error in libcrypto

the private key files format, was a space instead of new lines.

whats the problem?

Solution

  • The ssh key wasn't formatted correctly. following the standard format, ie new lines instead of spaces, solved the issue.
