Re: Login failed.. please help me!!!

In general, PuTTYgen is used to generate SSH key pairs. Not TLS/SSL client certificate.

In any case, it does not look like your server has asked for a certificate file.
Can you post a complete log?
Can you login using any other FTP client?
Did you get any instructions for use of client certificates from your server administrator?

Login failed.. please help me!!!

Hi,
I've generetad by PuttyGen a pair public/private key (.ppk). I gave to administrator my public key for add it to the FTPS server configuration file. He give me a user and password for authentication and a server certificate .cer file. I've convert my private key from .ppk to .pem and renamed the server's .cer like my private key, putting both in the same folder.
Now I'm trying to login via winscp, set my .pem private key in TLS setting but I get the following message in the log:

Is right use my private key with server certificate for login?
Judging by what is written in the log you think there is a problem with the credentials that the administrator gave me or with the private key pair plus the server's certificate?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
