		[quote]I'm having trouble getting public key authentication to work. I made public/private key pair with puttygen's default parameters. I set public key authentication to "Required" (and password in "Required" too) in freesshd. The result is that authentication fails even if pass phrase and password are entered correctly. I have a feeling that freesshd does not find my public key. I have also tried an absolute path, for example C:\keys\my_public, where my_public is the name of my key file. Any thoughts what goes wrong? Pure password authentication works fine.[/quote]
