I was getting prompted to enter my password instead of authenticating with my SSH key. I thought if I deleted everything in ~/.ssh I would be able to generate a new key from my laptop, manually copy the public key, and use my SFTP client (Transmit) to add to authorized_keys on my server. Unfortunately, that did not work. I'm able to r+w in ~/.ssh, but I'm not able to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to enable PasswordAuthentication, through the SFTP client. I tried attaching the server (named "ubuntu") to a display that outputs:
Ubuntu 23.04 ubuntu ttyl ubuntu login:
It outputs incorrectly on everything I've tried. Is this something that can be fixed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
