Re^3: Net SSH2 auth_publickey not working in Windows

Right, it's working, thanks to both zentara and salva for gently nudging me in the right direction and apologies for the wetware error

It was me using the wrong format keys. Once I used the private key generated from puttygen's 'Conversion' menu and the public key from the 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file' file all works swimmingly.

HI Nick, i am struggling to get ssh (or ssh2) connection from windows client. I have been trying for more than 3 days but not able to get it work. Can you please share the complete script, utilities you used and the steps you had to perform to get right keys (server and client). I know i am asking for too much but i am really stuck here. using the info from this post, i get "Authentication failed: Permission denied" error. thanks amit	[reply]
