I am using OpenSSH on win7. My home dir is C:\Users\JG, and inside that dir I have the file C:\Users\JG\.ssh\config, with these contents:
Host <redacted server ip here>
HostName digitalocean_git
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/digitalocean_moocho/id_rsa
The id file pointed to by the "IdentityFile" entry works, as I use it just fine via putty, but for this problem I am trying to get command line OpenSSH working.
The crux of the problem is explained by this output:
>ssh -v digitalocean_git
OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007
debug1: Reading configuration data /c/Users/JG/.ssh/config
ssh: digitalocean_git: no address associated with name
Why is no address associated with the name? How can I make this work?
