# SSH With A Specific Key
|
|
|
|
When you SSH into another machine using public key authentication, the
|
|
key pair from either `~/.ssh/id_dsa`, `~/.ssh/id_ecdsa`, or `~/.ssh/id_rsa`
|
|
is used by default. This is generally what you want. But what if the target
|
|
server is expecting to identify you with a different SSH key pair?
|
|
|
|
The `-i` option can be used with `ssh` to specify a different _identity
|
|
file_ when the default isn't what you want.
