Can anyone tell me the problem with ssh-keygen? I already have already have created the directory, ssh-keygen acknowledges yet does not save keys
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jason/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/jason/.ssh
/home/jason/.ssh already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)? y
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Saving key "/home/jason/.ssh" failed: Is a directory

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/jason/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/jason/.ssh
/home/jason/.ssh already exists.
you are promted to enter a file name. You enter a directory name; /home/jason/.ssh.
Do not enter anything; the default value in the parenthesis is normally fine. If you want to save it to a custom location, this has to either be a file or a non-existing entity.
The error message Saving key "/home/jason/.ssh" failed: Is a directory is pretty clear.

fyi: Qualico: Files/directories with a '.' (fullstop) as first character are hidden, so a normallsor Files (the file-manager) won't show them. Add als -ato view from cli, or "view - show.hidden.files" from within Files to see them.
