Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or directory



I install rwsync server on xp, and on fedora tried to ssh as follows;

1) on fedora
ssh-keygen -P "" -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

ftp id_rsa.pub to xp

2) on xp

append id_rsa.pub to /cwRsyncServer/var/SvcwRsync/.ssh/
authorized_keys2

3) and on fedora

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa id@xxxxxxxxxxx

then I got this error message.

"Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or
directory."

Why do I get this error mesage?

"Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: No such file or
directory."

Is there errors on sshd_config?
