* Access denied * No supported authentication methods left to try!

I love this program, no problems on other systems. I posted this once but don't see it, trying again, sorry if I goofed.

host: Linux i686 2.6.5-gentoo
client: wxppro (new computer)

login error:
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "root".
Access denied
No supported authentication methods left to try!

Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 0.
I CAN connect with Putty as 'root' but can NOT connect with WS, even as user.

I have removed and reinstalled several times, including registry entries left by uninstall. Each time I accepted proposed key.

I have run the following on the host:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
WinSCP log from latest attempt after reinstall:

Check your server log to see reason why it denies you to login. Maybe root is allowed to login only using interactive terminal (Putty) and not with non-interactive session (WinSCP). This rule generally applies to 'su' command, so it may apply even to normal login in you case.

I could not determine this from the messages log, it says only that the connection was refused.

I was able to get in as user with WinSCP, transfer files to home directory, then in Putty as root, copy them to the right place.

Tried generating ssh2 keys per putty help, no success.
