Re^2: Connecting using Net-OpenSSH with public key instead of password

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.

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.
