having trouble connecting to my RunPod via SSH
Hello everyone! I'm having trouble connecting to my RunPod via SSH. I've uploaded my public key in the RunPod settings, but I'm still getting "Permission denied" when I try to connect using:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/runpod_key -p 13241 [email protected]
I've tried:
- Generating a new SSH key
- Updating the public key in RunPod settings
- Restarting the pod
- Checking key permissions on my machine
The server sees my key but rejects it, then falls back to password auth. I've even tried common default passwords.
I'm setting up a LLM for a telegram bot. Can anyone help me figure out how to get SSH access working? Thanks!

It happened to me previously, make sure to check this option when deploying a pod.
no way to do that in an existing pod? i need to create a new one?
I'm not sure. I created new one to make it work. But, maybe there's a way for existing pod. Maybe RunPod team could help answer this.
