The public key will then be saved in `filename.pub`. The default directory is `/Users/nic/.ssh/id_rsa`. The key fingerprint and the key's randomart image will be displayed. It's a good idea to copy this information. ### Copy and share the public key The public key information is in `~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`. Copy everything in this file and paste it into the service you want to share your key with (ie., [[DigitalOcean]]).
