Generally you do not setup username on SSH server. The server typically uses account base of the system. However I do not know freeSSHD.

Hi,

I am trying WinSCP as SFTP client and freeSSHD as server. How to setup user name in SSH server.

I get error message as below:
***
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "john".
Authenticating with public key "dsa-key-20050727"
Access denied
No supported authentication methods left to try!

Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 0."

Please advise and thanks.

Hi,
I have generated my keys with puttygen but I can't get the public key auth working.
I exported the public key as openssh key to store it in my authorized_keys file on the server but I always get the error message "Key is of wrong type (PuTTY SSH-2 private key)".
What I'm doing wrong? :cry:

TIA
Torsten

Doh! :shock: I found my error.
I was using version 1 as preferred ssh version.
When I changed it to version 2 everything started working as expected.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Best regards
Torsten

You really need a smiley which is banging his head against a wall :mrgreen:
