dil_bert Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I have two files, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. What command can be used to validate if they are a valid pair? i have tested this way: ssh-keygen -y -e -f <private key> [martin@martin-pc ~]$ ssh-keygen -y -e -f <private key> bash: Syntaxfehler beim unerwarteten Wort `newline' [martin@martin-pc ~]$ why do i get this error ?!

requinix Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I can only assume the problem is that you don't know what "unexpected token" means. Frankly, I'm not sure what it's doing there either. ssh-keygen -ye with the private key will tell you the public key. Compare the output with your actual public key to see if they match.
