I installed openssh server on Windows 11 and tried to ssh to it using the

On linux the last line ending with "\" on Windows Notepad replaces it with the

ssh with password is working but windows doesn't recognize the public key or
maybe it is wrong directory C:\Users\Garry Server\.ssh\authorized_keys
If ssh with password is working, did you try letting ssh decide for the
correct location for your ssh key via ssh-copy-id:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/my_key usern...@example.com
First time it will of course log in via password, but any further login
should use the ssh key.
If the key is still not accepted, have you tried a different ssh key
type (e.g. ed25519). Maybe the server rejects RSA keys?
Nice command, thank for the input; but it didn't work with Windows 11
I run:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub "Glen Server"@10.0.0.130
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed:
"/home/joseph/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter
out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are
prompted now it is to install the new keys
Glen Server@10.0.0.130's password:
'exec' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Number of key(s) added: 1
Now try logging into the machine, with: "ssh 'Glen Server@10.0.0.130'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.
Trying to login again still asked me for password.
On Windows 11 public key should be copied to
C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys
