Actually I was expecting help from you! ;-)You didn't said anything to help you.http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/Chapter8.html#pubkey <http://the.earth.li/%7Esgtatham/putty/0.58/htmldoc/Chapter8.html#pubkey> states to basically use PuttyGen to generate the key then copy and paste it into your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. I do that but when I try to ssh in from a remote system using Putty I keep getting prompted for a password. Does anybody know how to fix/configure this?
What key type you generate?I tried them all.
How do you save both parts of the key?Didn't think I had to. IIRC there was a save button. I clicked on that and saved whatever it saved. I don't recall it saying what part it would save.
Yes I did assume it would save it somewhere. If you use ssh-keygen it does save it somewhere (~/.ssh by default). As I said, I don't use putty so I have no idea how it works. Where am I supposed to save it? How does putty then later find it and use it?You said you copied public key, did you saved private key as well? Or you just assumed it was saved somewhere automatically?
