The fix is chmod 700 /home/maydara/.ssh



Without the 'x' permission, a directory cannot be searched (i.e. files in directory cannot be found).

  • @Kulfy thx for the suggestion but what i've done is not really a fix, it's a rebuild from scratch and that won't be helpful for people who don't have copies of their ssh keys.

To fix my problem I ended up removing my ssh folder and regenarating my keys:



rm -rf ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
ssh-add ~/.ssh/[the_name_of_your_private_key]


then I uploaded my public keys again to github, digitalocean, etc.
