title: Is it Possible to transfer the Git SSHKey from one system to another
body: <p>I am very New to Git.
  My client asket me to install git in my system and told me to pass the ssh key (id_rsa.pub ).I transfered the key and he registered, after that we were able to download the app.</p>
  
  <p>Then we decided to move to Fedora 14 (Linux). We installed git again and we transferred the key again for registration in server to the client. But now the client mentioned we can use the same key.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use the same key? </p>
  
  <p>I tried the below steps: (Once git got installed in Fedora.) </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@youremail.com"</code> (same email id used as on Windows OS)</li>
  <li>Replaced all the 3 files created with the copy of the 3 files (id_rsa, id_rsa.pub and known_hosts from Windows install earlier)</li>
  <li>Tried <code>git clone git@git.xyz.com:x2.git</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But no luck. </p>
  
  <p>When i try: </p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone git@git.xyz.com:x2.git
  Cloning into x2...
  ssh: connect to host git.xyz.com port 22: connection timed out
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can somebody help me in understanding and resolving this issue?
  Is there some other problem locking access?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
