Further Update

Turns out that it was the Windows server receiving the SSH that was not set up correctly.

Update

So now I've figured out that the key needs adding to the Pageant app so the Windows OS can talk SSH with it. However, I am still receiving the

Can anyone explain this error more fully to help me resolve the problem?

Here is the latest log...

PPK Help Required

Hi,
I am not an SSH expert at all and have just started to use WINSCP very recently making it work via SSIS packages.

A new job needs setting up and I've been given a .ppk to deal with security. So I need to set this up with some commands in the SSIS package so that it employs the .ppk but before I attempt this I would like to see the GUI client connect successfully. I have set everything up ok (I think) but WINSCP is erroring when it attempts to tunnel in using 127.0.0.1

Here is my log file...

I am running a Windows Server 2012 R2. This has Cerberus SFTP server running on it. Could anyone explain why 127.0.0.1 doesn't want any SSH going on please or why I cannot use the ppk file successfully with WINSCP?

Thanks in advance,
George
