Hi,

Trying it out for the first time!

I can ssh into the machine using my private key. But the remote machine have a different username. When I setup the config and supply the username along with the ssh key. it gives error that it can't read the key. What's the work around because I do not want to change the permissions of my private key.

thanks

If I dont set the key in the config then it asks for the password for the username of the remote machine. How do I supply the key file then?

I was able to do it by supplying: $HOME/.ssh/my_key
