This is the key you refer above? This is probably the cause of the problem, are all the different programs you are using as client using the same pair of keys (public and private)? Let's try a simple test: In your client computer, in a terminal under your Cygwin user home directory run the following scp -o PubkeyAuthentication=no .ssh/id_dsa.pub myu...@10.4.15.5:tempKey ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no myu...@10.4.15.5 cat tempKey >> .ssh/authorized_keys exit ssh myu...@10.4.15.5 Did that work as expected? I don't know PuTTYgen or what's the deal with .ppk keys; know even less about winSCP so no comments there. -- René Berber -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
