Jeremy,

Thanks for pointing it out. I had it correct on step#3 and made a typo on step#4.

I have corrected step#4 properly now.

Step 4 refers to a file named “authorized_key” (“chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_key”). It should be “authorized_keys” instead of “authorized_key”.

The permissions of .ssh should not be 755 and 644 for authentication_keys
It should be 700 and 600.
