Has anyone used OpenSSH on Windows?

I have installed OpenSSH for Windows on a W2k and an XP machine. I create a key on W2k machine with a passphrase. I can load that key and change the passphrase ok on the same machine. :)

If I transfer the key to the XP machine, the passphrase is NOT accepted. The config files are identical. If I transfer the key without any passphrase to the XP machine, a passphrase is expected and entering a null passphrase is not accepted either. :( I can, however, create a key on the XP with a passphrase and access it on the same machine.

The problem is the W2k is our development machine, and an XP machine will be the final destination. I have already generated a key on the W2k and provided the public key to the company holding the server. Unfortunately they have clammed up on giving us any help, even they stand to gain another customer when we can get this working!:confused:

I am testing the key by running the agent and adding the key:

ssh-agent ssh-add KEYFILE

I get the same results by connecting to the FTP site with ssh using the key. The passphrase fails.

Can anyone tell me why the key does not work when transferred to a different PC?
