What client are you using from windows?

I use putty and do the following....

take the private key from $HOME/.ssh/identity

use puttygen.exe to create a passwordless identity.ppk file on windows.

use that identity in the Connection/SSH/Auth property in "putty.exe" or as the argument to -i in "plink.exe" to "pscp.exe".

eg

plink.exe -i identity.ppk fred@aixbox uname -a

It is on a AIX or Windows?

Connection/SSH/Auth in AIX?

eg

plink.exe -i identity.ppk fred@aixbox uname -a
I use SSh Secure File Transfer tool to ssh from Windows to AIX without password.

How to use step by step?

Thanks a lot!

Install Putty on windows client.

Get your private key from the AIX server, found in $HOME/.ssh/identity

Put that on Windows box.

Run puttygen.exe and load the private key, save it without password as identity.ppk in a safe directory.

To use SFTP use Putty's "psftp" as follows:

"c:\program files\putty\psftp.exe" -i \path\to\identity.ppk user@host

Thanks a lot! I can use your command to do it from windows to AIX without password.

However, if I use SSH Secure File Transfer tool, how to do it without password?

This is the SSH Secure File Transfer tool link:
