[SOLVED]SSH Key-Permission Denied

[crazystar]

I did a clean 10.6 install and forgot to backup the ssh key. Now when I try to ssh into the server i get this:

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Update: I have deleted ".ssh" folders on both the machine. Now what?

As you can tell from the debug info it can not find the keys which is obvious since they're gone. Without a backup you're lost. You need to start from scratch regarding the keys: create new keys and put them on the server. This time backup those freshly made keys straight away!

Yes, I have learned from my mistake. I have generated new ssh keys, but it is not even allowing me to scp the new key. What do I need to do?

ssh xxxx$ scp id_rsa.pub xxxx@macpro:/.ssh/
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
lost connection

So I Fixed it, I logged into the server, copied the id_rsa.pub to .ssh folder, renamed it authorized_keys. Now I can ssh into the server.

Thanks for the help.
