My question is how to get rid of the passphrase prompt during runtime in windows platform?

This may be completely unrelated, but I also ran into a problem where I was prompted for a passphrase when the real issue was something else. Running on an Ubuntu host trying to connect to and Ubuntu server running on Amazon web services:

ssh -i keyfile.pem ubu...@mydomain.net
Enter passphrase for key 'keyfile.pem': <I just hit enter>
Permission denied (publickey).

sudo ssh -i keyfile.pem ubu...@vtrunk.net
<this worked without any prompt because used sudo>

The keyfile was created without a passphrase, but trying to use it when I didn't have permission for the host's filesystem caused a prompt for a passphrase that AFAIK doesn't exist. I don't see how or why using sudo had anything to do with a passphrase for the key. When the key was created without a passphrase, it seems wrong for gpg to prompt for one regardless of what else might be wrong.

I guess what I am suggesting is that the logic that causes gpg to prompt for a passphrase either has a problem or my understanding of it does. Whether the problem you are experiencing on a Windows system is related at all is a question I can't answer.

Thanks
