UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi,
I am facing problems whie trying to do a passwordless ssh to Unix box from windows. Public key was generated using F-secure. When the F-secure client attempts it connects without password but when I try to use sftp2 in command line it prompts for password.
I have tried several options and failed.. no much help in google too.
Any response to possibilities will be much appreciated.
Below is the sftp2 -v output:

C:\Documents and Settings\hp-\Desktop>sftp2 -v mha@10.205.50.190
