I'm using WinCVS 1.3 and Putty to connect to the cvs.apache.org. My understanding was that using SSH keys was optional but strongly encouraged. So I had a go at creating the private/public key pairs, and put the public key into .ssh directory on my apache home, and specified the private key file to Putty, but when I click "open" in Putty and enter userid/password I get a message saying
Trying public key authentication. Key is of wrong type (PuTTY SSH2 private key)
Any ideas, what this means? I specified SSH2 (RSA) when I generated my keys. I noticed in the archives that some people have authorized_keys and others have authorized_keys2 file, which do I need? I tried both, but I still got the same message.
Thinking that SSH is not strictly required for write access, I had a go at updating my description on the Team page, but WinCVS says:
cvs [server aborted]: "commit" requires write access to the repository
Any help would be appreciated.
