Connecting from i3 to another Device, or vice-versa? https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4457/ssh-permission-denied-in-i3/?comment=4468#comment-4468Okay, I found the solution. I had given my keys specific names (such as `mycomputer-key` and `mycomputer-key.pub`) instead of default `id_rsa` and `id_rsa.pub`. Renaming just the private key to `id_rsa` I am now permitted to connect.Wed, 13 Aug 2014 08:05:00 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4457/ssh-permission-denied-in-i3/?comment=4468#comment-4468Comment by jatcheson for What permissions do you have in ~/.ssh?

I am trying to connect from i3 to another Device (`gnome-keyring-d` also appears to be running).Wed, 13 Aug 2014 07:57:28 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4457/ssh-permission-denied-in-i3/?comment=4467#comment-4467Comment by Adaephon for What permissions do you have in ~/.ssh?

In fact, I use this line to add all of my keys: `for k in ~/.ssh/*.pub; do ssh-add "${k%.pub}"; done`.
