I want to generate a set of keys for a home server that I would like to SSH into, so I do ssh-keygen -t rsa
, but then I get a message: id_rsa already exists. Overwrite (y/n)?
Well, I don't want to overwrite because the keys I have now I use to SSH into my university's servers, and it would be a pain to have to do all that junk again every time I wanted to switch. Is there an easy way to append the keys?
I tried following a tutorial (which I cannot find) that suggesting something about using the cat
command, but I am pretty lost. It seems like the solution is something very simple that I'm just not seeing.
If I remember correctly, I fixed this problem by uninstalling Cygwin and using the command line instead.
