Dear Georg,

I set up everything as per instruction to access my hpc account. But I am getting the following massage:

"ptfs138h@fritz.nhr.fau.de's password: "

I completed set up approximately 6 hours ago,  whereas in tutorial you said it will take 2 hour to sync with system. Please help me out.

Dear Muztaba,

I can see that you have uploaded an SSH public key, but it does not appear to be used for login. If your private key is not in a standard location and/or does not have a standard name (such as, e.g., ~/.ssh/id_rsa), then you have to specify it explicitly upon login:

$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_myspecialnewkey ptfs138h@fritz.nhr.fau.de
Could this be the problem? You can also send the diagnostic output of the ssh command if you add the "-v" option.

Best,
Georg.
