I'm confused because your entering localhost as the destination host which is itself. Ssh issues are normally not that big of a deal and fall into one of these. - dns issue where the you'll see the connection hang for quite sometime and then finally connect. - your she'll on the destination is messed op so try logging into the console if u can and see if that works. That or some put the exit command in your profile so it logs u out then in ;) - your trying to do something that requires a terminal try adding the -t option "ssh -t" - finally if your running a command try and quote it like ssh -ti my.key mike@box "ls" On Feb 28, 2015 1:21 AM, "Michael Havens" wrote: > oh!
