ssh - trying to set up keygen - no directory ?

[Guest Chup]

Basically I've run the command :

Code:

scp .ssh/id_rsa.pub tri@192.168.0.11:~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

As per this guide

 

And I get the message :

 

Code:

.ssh/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory

I tried to create the .ssh directory on the server, and re-run the command but it still didn't work.

And I thought that the .ssh directory would have been created automatically by the ssh setup?

 

I've copied across test files from the desktop and that worked fine, as did a directory but I can't do this key bit for some reason.

 

I've created the key on the client using :

 

 

Code:

ssh-keygen �t rsa

So I have a key, and the little art thing....

 

 

 

Has something gone wrong with the original SSH install or something? I don't understand why I have the directory on the client but not on the server ??

 

Thanks :)
