Difficulty with SSH key instructions

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for helping me. I'm an Intel employee in Intel Brazil and I'm trying to use the FPGA DevCloud.

After following the instructions on github, I'm stuck and need help to proceed.

I've completed every step until section "3.3 - Downloading a SSH key". I can't execute the commands on instruction 5:

Instruction 5 on section "3.3 - Downloading an SSH key"

If I try the command "Host devcloud", mobaterm shows the error "Host: command not found". I didn't create a file called "config", and neither can I find a directory on my PC.

Could you please help me?

Thank you a lot!

    You should first create a folder named ".ssh" in your "home" directory, then create a file named "config" inside that folder, and then add those lines inside that file.

      Thank you, that was it!

      I had to learn a little bit of Linux terminal commands to do it, but your answer helped me to know what to search for!

      I believe the commands should be stated in the DevCloud tutorial. It could help other users.
