Hi, I am not sure if I understand the entire process of setting up ssh.

Could some one tell me if I did something wrong?

On the work Mac which has Lion 10.7.5, I generated the key pair in ~/.ssh

Then I copied the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the client Macs.

I did this last night, from the client iMac, in Cyberduck, sftp auth the public key file, it worked.

This morning, I did this with my MBA, used the same public key file, CyberDuck gave me "Invalid PEM structure, '-----BEGIN...' missing."

Why is that? What did I do wrong?
