You’ll need to provide some more details so people can help you, in particular the exact commands and error messages.

ok I attempted to upload two screen shots 1 for the instructions I’m using and the second my terminal window.
when I try to execute the command at step 4 it tells me no such file or directory. its probably something simple, however, I’m stuck any help would be appreciated

The first screenshot says:

Your public key has been saved in cs50.pub

Looks like you told ssh-keygen to save the file under a non-standard name. That means you’ll have to use the name you chose (cs50) instead of the default (id_rsa) where applicable. 🙂

Mind that .pub denotes the public key, don’t upload the private one!

I really really appreciate your time and understanding. ok so I did try to use the cs50 I saved it under, but it still said file not found, so I deleted the file and re generated another key and saved it under the file name given in the instructions. then tried to execute the command using the file name id_rsa and it still said file not found.
