Issues with SSH in Axolotl Pod
I can't do an SSH connection with SCP / SFTP.
I tried generating new SSH key pairs, I specifically adjusted their permissions, connected with the recommended ssh command for the pod (I also tried starting a separate pod and manually building the command), and double checked that I copied the public ssh string.
I am running an arch-linux based host OS, and connected via a terminal SSH command.
I did these steps multiple times to be sure I made no mistakes.
Unfortunately, the runpodctl is not an option as it seems out of date, meaning I don't really have any way of uploading files from my device into the runpod. I verified that [SSH Terminal Access] was enabled. I did not enter the startup command recommended in the documentation as I was worried about the note that it "overrides CMD", but I double checked and confirmed that SSH should be a valid connection method that other people have gotten working on this container so I believe it to be unnecessary to the best of my knowledge.
Regardless of what I do, I only get a prompt to enter a password, which indicates that something is wrong, and I'm not entirely sure what.
Any help would be appreciated.
