Try one or more of the following things: - Use puttygen to import your private key, and then export as .ppk - Load your key.ppk into pageant, and let it manage your private key(s) - Log in using your private key from the server (ie. login to the server with your password, and then from the shell ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Please inform me of your results.
