Help with connecting to pods with SSH connection

Hi everyone,

I've generated my ssh keys following this guideilne: https://docs.runpod.io/pods/configuration/use-ssh and I've entered the output into my sshkeys fo the runpod .

But when I try to connect, it says [numbers@ssh.runpod.io: Permission denied (publickey).].

I think I've spent $4 trying to figure it out now.

My expose HTTP ports is 8888 and my expose tcp port is 22.

I don't know what this means, I just saw someone else entering it.

Also, my ideal setup would be i can ssh into it and have it run while I'm not connecting to it since I need to train some ML models.

Also I would love if I can connect it with VSCode and also maybe get an x display server so that I can see the output visually.
