Seems reasonable. Can you give the output of ssh -vv server2?

hi

the output is



Code:
 
Sun_SSH_1.1.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
Options:
  -l user     Log in using this user name.
  -n          Redirect input from /dev/null.
  -F config   Config file (default: ~/.ssh/config).
  -A          Enable authentication agent forwarding.
  -a          Disable authentication agent forwarding (default).
  -X          Enable X11 connection forwarding.
  -x          Disable X11 connection forwarding (default).
  -i file     Identity for public key authentication (default: ~/.ssh/identity)
  -t          Tty; allocate a tty even if command is given.
  -T          Do not allocate a tty.
  -v          Verbose; display verbose debugging messages.
              Multiple -v increases verbosity.
  -V          Display version number only.
  -q          Quiet; don't display any warning messages.
  -f          Fork into background after authentication.
  -e char     Set escape character; ``none'' = disable (default: ~).
  -c cipher   Select encryption algorithm
  -m macs     Specify MAC algorithms for protocol version 2.
  -p port     Connect to this port.  Server must be on the same port.
  -L listen-port:host:port   Forward local port to remote address
  -R listen-port:host:port   Forward remote port to local address
              These cause ssh to listen for connections on a port, and
              forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.
  -D port     Enable dynamic application-level port forwarding.
  -C          Enable compression.
  -N          Do not execute a shell or command.
  -g          Allow remote hosts to connect to forwarded ports.
  -1          Force protocol version 1.
  -2          Force protocol version 2.
  -4          Use IPv4 only.
  -6          Use IPv6 only.
  -o 'option' Process the option as if it was read from a configuration file.
  -s          Invoke command (mandatory) as SSH2 subsystem.
  -b addr     Local IP address.

No, I don't think so. Enter the SSH command as if you want to connect to the remote host, but add -vv (that's a dash followed by 2 lowercase 'V's) in front of the server name (still seperated by a space).

there seems to be something wrong with the sftp configuration. might be the keys are not placed at correct locations, may be the permission for the user on the directories where keys are placed.

sftp asks for a password only if there is an issue with keys being placed at correct locations and permissions(file or directory). Could you make sure that

1. The keys should be shared between the client and the server.
2. The .ssh directory should be present in the home directory of the user.
3. The {home_dir}/.ssh/id_dsa.pub or {home_dir}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file contains the public key. (server side)
4. The client public key key should be placed in the {home_dir}/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file( on the server).
5. The .ssh directory on both client as well as server should be owned by the user and with 700 permissions.
6. The files inside the directory should be with 600 permissions.
