Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions

Hi,

I installed OpenSSH for Windows v3.8.1 on a Windows Server 2003 R2.

From my pc (which is running windows XP), I can run commands like scp to the server.

But its prompting me for a password.

I googled some more and found out about the public/private keys which i set up.

But its still prompting me for a password whenever i try to execute the command:

scp Myfile.txt user@server:MyFile.txt

Would appreciate any ideas on this.

regards.

Try scp -v to print debugging output, which should narrow down where the authentication's failing.

try

Code:

scp -v -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey Myfile.txt user@server:MyFile.txt
echo $?
