    It’s a typo. You typed -c but wanted (and used in your question) -C

    To use -c, the keys have to be already present. Excerpt of man ssh-keygen:

    Requests changing the comment in the private and public key files. This operation is only supported for RSA1 keys. The program will prompt for the file containing the private keys, for the passphrase if the key has one, and for the new comment.
