Hi,

Can you check the keys you uploaded at Savannah?

The first one doesn't have the comment part and might be truncated.
The second one should have a space before 'tom@barnraiser.org'.

Hi,

I'm having a SSH problem connecting to the CVS from Windows. I've not done this before so expect a stupid reason why I can't.....


I have generated a public key (for user: barnraiser) and that's on Savannah and working.

I've generated a private key that locally seems to work

I am trying to use PuTTY and Plink to connect using SSH so that I can check the authentication. I use:

plink -ssh -2 -i C:\priv_key.ppk -l barnraiser savannah.nongnu.org


I get back "server refused our key"

This key is standard PuTTY key

I tried exporting the private key as openSSH and SHH.com, but the server refuses those as "unable to use private key (OpenSSH SSH2 private key)

I generate the keys using puttygen.exe, selecting "SSH2 DSA" key with 1024 bits.


I'm out of options, desparate and have zero knowledge of SSH authentication:) .... [broadcast]help[/broadcast]

thank you in advance for any assistance

Tom
