Where is the .ssh directory?

I installed openssh, but I can't find the .ssh directory. Could anyone be able to tell me where could I find this directory?

P.S. I installed Ubuntu 16.10 as a virtual machine.

Solution 1:

The file is not created by the installation, but upon the first use of ssh or ssh-keygen. If it is not there, there is nothing to worry about. You can simply create it using mkdir ~/.ssh/.

Solution 2:

Check here for the .ssh directory in here /home/your-username/.ssh.

Its hidden as a result of the dot(.) before the name.

So to find it do ls -a | grep .ssh in your current location as seen in the image. Also try using nautilus
