this just in.....
On the Windows box, you need to run puttygen.exe append the pub key to
~/.ssh/authorized_keys (on the server)
and then load the private key (*.ppk file you generated) into putty and slide into home plate
the key here (no pun intended) is to generate the pair oin the client, and upload the .pub onto the server,
