Connecting to zen with ssh key in personal directory

ISSUE :

When trying to connect to zen with : ssh -X m24075-???@zen.univ-lille.fr

The following message appears after typing the passphrase — which is correct : "Permission denied, please try again"

SOLUTION :

The ssh key was located in a personal file rather than .ssh in home. The solution consists of adding the key path to the request : ssh -X /directory/ssh_key m24075-???@zen.univ-lille.fr

Don't forget to add it when creating the alias : sshzen='ssh -X /directory/ssh_key m24075-???@zen.univ-lille.fr'
