cat /Users/hamro/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

13. Paste the key in Hamro.Cloud's Public Key field which is located in the SSH Access section. The handle should be added automatically. Click Add Public Key.
14. This might take up to 5 minutes.
15. Now, you'll need to go back to the Terminal and enter the SSH username and hostname which is found at the top of the SSH Access section. It should be something like [email protected]
