Nevermind I figured it out..
I imported my openssh dsa key into puttygen and saved it to a new file (id_dsa.ppk)
.. changed my connection to use that and viola! problem solved.
/Logi

I'm having problems with my dsa key as well, but it's only in winscp mind you. In SecureCRT it works flawlessly.

.. i get the error:
. Reading private key file "C:\MYdir\id_dsa"
. Unable to use this key file (OpenSSH SSH2 private key)
! Unable to use key file "C:\MYdir\id_dsa" (OpenSSH SSH2 private key)


any ideas?

/Logi

Yes it should :-)
Thx!

Should not it be $home/.ssh/authorized_keys2 instead of $home/.ssh2/authorized_keys?

Enclosed a log of what happened.
I generated a DSA key with the puttykeygen program, and then loaded the private key with pagean, and pasted the exact content of the public key to $home/.ssh/authorized_keys and
$home/.ssh2/authorized_keys
I then open winscp (v. 2.2), chose ssh2, enter the servername and and username, and the private key. Then tried connecting, as the log file shows.
What am I doing wrong?
