What would be a walkthrough on how to set up multiple SSH keys?
I'm trying to connect to my remote server and GitHub account. I've got SSH access established with GitHub, but when I used ssh-keygen -t rsa and hit Enter, the terminal prompted me if I wanted to override the one that already exists. How can I create a new SSH key just for the remote server?
You should specify the output file, for example:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/my-new-key
Then to connect:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/my-new-key 192.168.x.x
Or set up an SSH configuration file:
nano ~/.ssh/config
Then put in something like:
Host my-server
HostName 192.168.x.x
User root
Port 22
IdentityFile /home/username/.ssh/my-new-key
Finally:
ssh my-server
