Error message when trying to copy SSH keys from NetProfiler to Linux server

When trying to copy SSH keys from NetProfiler to Linux server customer may get error messages

-bash: .ssh//authorized_keys2: No such file or directory
-bash: cat/opt/cascade/vault/ssh/mazu/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory

We need to verify if there are any SSH keys on the Linux server with the command

• cd .ssh
• ls

If .ssh does not appear with any directories in it, we will need to create a SSH key on the Linux box.

This is an example that was created on a Ubuntu linux box:

•  rpm@SGlab-ubuntu:~$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/rpm/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/home/rpm/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <Press Enter, No pass phrase required>
Enter same passphrase again: <Press Enter, No pass phrase required>
Your identification has been saved in /home/rpm/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/rpm/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
46:35:1f:f6:63:d3:c4:84:c5:1e:b2:fa:11:7c:5d:dc rpm@SGlab-ubuntu
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ RSA 2048]----+

+-----------------+
• After generating the SSH keys, please perform the copying of SSH keys from Profiler to Backup server.
• cat /opt/cascade/vault/ssh/mazu/id_rsa.pub | ssh rpm@10.72.192.238 "cat >> .ssh//authorized_keys2"
• Verify if you are still seeing this output appear:
• -bash: cat/opt/cascade/vault/ssh/mazu/id_rsa.pub: No such file or directory
• If yes, we can generate new SSH keys on NetProfiler.
  
  This is an example:
  
  [mazu@SGlab-CAX01 ~]$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/mazu/.ssh/id_rsa): /opt/cascade/vault/ssh/mazu/id_rsa
