How do I get to .SSH directory in Linux?
ssh directory. File paths for user's home directories can be found in /etc/passwd. The default directory and name for new keys is ~/. ssh/id_rsa, and this is where SSH will look for your keys.
ssh directory is not by default created below your home directory. When you call ssh somehost (replace 'somehost' by the name or IP of a host running sshd), the directory and the file . ssh/known_hosts will be created. Instead, you may create it with mkdir ~/. ssh .
