To force the SSH client to use a specific private key (also known as an "identity file") when connecting to a remote server, you can use the -i
option when running the ssh
command.
Here's an example of how to use the -i
option to specify a private key file:
ssh -i /path/to/private_key user@serverSource:www.lautturi.com
Replace /path/to/private_key
with the path to the private key file on your local system, and user@server
with the user and server information for the remote server.
If you have multiple private keys stored in the ~/.ssh
directory on your local system, you can specify which key to use by including the -i
option and the filename of the key file. For example:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa user@server
This will use the id_rsa
key file located in the ~/.ssh
directory to authenticate the connection to the remote server.
