Problem
User tries to SSH from windows system to another server / linux and get the following error
ssh moshe@10.0.0.1
tilde_expand: No such user \\.ssh\\id_rsa
Solution
This is usually happens because of ssh misconfiguration. easiast solution to delete the entire directory ( if you dont have authrozied keys )
cd ~/.ssh
rm -rf *
If you don't / can't want to delete the directory
search for the host in the files inside the directory and remove the specific entries
Need this fixed properly?
