Re: Authenticating with public key RSA-2 1024Bit failed

Any error in the server's log?
Can you connect with any other SSH/SFTP client? E.g. PuTTY?

Authenticating with public key RSA-2 1024Bit failed

Hi Martin,
I am trying to connect to a SFTP server
Protocol: SFTP with SSH 2.0
Authentification: Public-Key with RSA-2 1024Bit
Authentication fails with error "Server refused public-key signature despite accepting key!" - see log.
Both keys (public and private) were generated with PuTTY key generator.
WinSCP version 5.7.5 - I am using the GUI interface ("Commander" option).
Turning on the "Ignores SSH-2 maximum packet size" debug option hasn't resolved this error.
What can be wrong?
