Can some body tell me why i’m getting this error message
Based on your screenshot, you’re currently in the Desktop folder, rather than the root directory, so openssl is looking for the key in Desktop/Downloads - which does not exist.
You can get back to the root directory by executing cd
At that point you should be able to run the command with the correct result.
Hey, thanks for the reply but i have tried that but it didn’t work. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Based on the error message, it’s not finding one of the files. I would first confirm that you created the message.txt file in the correct folder. You may want to confirm that the sallypublic.key file is present in the Downloads folder as well.
I’ve tested the full lab and can confirm it’s working correctly as long as you follow the steps exactly as written.
The message.txt is in the desktop folder and sallypublic.key is in the downloads.
The message.txt file should be in root, not on the Desktop. There are no steps in the lab that involve navigating to the Desktop.
It started off in desktop so i really didn’t pay it any mind, thank you soooo much for your help i was over here stressing out lol!
