Compose usual path to ssh keys

This function provides a consistent means across OS-types to access the .ssh directory.

ssh_path(file = "")

Arguments

file

basename of file for which path is requested

Value

Full path to the file

Details

On Windows-based systems, path.expand("~") returns "C:/Users/username/Documents", whereas the usual path to the .ssh directory is "C:/Users/username".

On other operating systems, path.expand("~") returns the usual path to the .ssh directory.

Calling ssh_path() with no arguments will return the usual path to the .ssh directory.

Examples

ssh_path()
#> [1] "/cluster-data/user-homes/andrew/.ssh/"
ssh_path("is_rsa.pub")
#> [1] "/cluster-data/user-homes/andrew/.ssh/is_rsa.pub"
