Hello monks,

I know I have another thread going where I am OP, but I have an unrelated matter I wanted to address. I'm trying to port my perl html template to windows, and the spot that is sticking is establishing sftp.

I'm using PuTTy and PuTTyGen to create the key pairs.

Here's the rub. I still want perl to be able to sftp to this server with my old linux machine. I want perl to be able to do it from windows as well. So we're to look at a file in the .ssh directory called authorized_keys . When I got the public key from putty, I appended it to this file, providing one line of whitespace. (It occurs to me that my C impulse to leave whitespace isn't a sound one in the unix environment.)

Now, my old machine can log in, but on PuTTy, when I go SSH--->Auth-->Browse to the private key, I do not succeed. Specifically:

Server refused our key

I thought that installing IO::Pty might do something for me, but this doesn't achieve anything:

Configuring T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz with Makefile.PL
