alternative /home/user/.ssh for keys ubuntu
I am setting up a new working station, where I want to be able to access my digitalOcean droplet with it. However, after copying the public key id_rs_pub, the private key id_rsa and known_hosts to my new working stations /home/user/.ssh. I get the following error:
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
root@101.10.32.11: Permission denied (publickey).
when trying to connect with ssh root@101.10.32.11
it turns out, when I delete the /home/user/.ssh folder completely from my main working station. I can still access the droplet with ssh root@101.10.32.11. This leads me to believe the private and public key are stored in a different location. Is this possible? If so, where?

I don't think you should put the public IP here, better to mention as x.x.x.x . And protect your droplet right away, firewall it. Regarding the keys the default is ~/.ssh/ unless its changed in the ssh config file:/etc/ssh/ssh_config
