**To upload an SSH public key and associate it with a user**

The following ``upload-ssh-public-key`` command uploads the public key found in the file ``sshkey.pub`` and attaches it to the user ``sofia``. ::

    aws iam upload-ssh-public-key \
        --user-name sofia \
        --ssh-public-key-body file://sshkey.pub

Output::

    {
        "SSHPublicKey": {
            "UserName": "sofia",
            "SSHPublicKeyId": "APKA1234567890EXAMPLE",
            "Fingerprint": "12:34:56:78:90:ab:cd:ef:12:34:56:78:90:ab:cd:ef",
            "SSHPublicKeyBody": "ssh-rsa <<long string generated by ssh-keygen command>>",
            "Status": "Active",
            "UploadDate": "2019-04-18T17:04:49+00:00"
        }
    }
