Re: Connecting using Net-OpenSSH with public key instead of password

If you're not sure what it's doing, run the ssh command from the command line. You can also add the debug option to the ssh command to get additional information about what it's doing in detail.

I am running on windows with ActiveState Perl, Ok I downloaded Putty but when I login, it works just like when I use WinSCP. I am able to access the folders & files and I dont get the same message. I would like to automated this process rather than having to login and download and extract the files manually each time. Thanks for your response.	[reply]

I downloaded Putty but when I login, it works just like when I use WinSCP. I'm not sure if this is the problem: WinSCP uses the same key format as PuTTY, and it is different from the OpenSSH format. I assume Net::OpenSSH expects a key in OpenSSH format. The PuTTYgen program can convert between OpenSSH and PuTTY formats.
