Now that I have ssh/sftp working from the command line on windows - what is the secret to getting filezilla/putty/winscp to work with the keys without requiring a password?

Group and other can't have write. Ask the admin to check the ssh server logs. It will almost always say why the key is ignored. There is also a chance that the SSH daemon has been configured to not allow keys. Try adding "-v" to the ssh command to increase verbosity. Make sure that your client is offering the key. -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
