I created a virtual machine via Bitnami in Google Compute Engine. Previously, I was able to ssh through the Bitnami web interface. I tried ssh through the terminal on my Mac, but kept getting the Permission denied (publickey)error. Then I deleted all keys on the server and my Mac and downloaded the pem file in bitnami form and used the -i option to connect, but the problem still persists.
ssh -i bitnami-gce.pem [email protected] -v

Permission denied (publickey).But I tried to ssh through the google web console and I could do it. Probably you think, if anyone can tell me the exact steps for SSH from anywhere? I prefer the simple way to enter my username and password. How do I set it up?
If you have such issue and looking for solution, just try out below steps to fix.
- Generate ssh key using
ssh-keygen - Copy the contents of the key.pub file
- Add content to
~/.ssh/authorized_keysfilesudo nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
