So you did not give ssh.exe any chance to pick up the private key.

I have no idea how easy it is (or if it is possible at all) to reuse 
Putty's private keys with MSys' ssh.  This is how _I_ would have done it: 
use the ssh-keygen tool we deliver with msysGit, for this (and only for 
this) purpose...

Hth,

P.S.: you're the second Russian guy (I'm assuming, of course) I get an 
email from with a very funny quoting style; I would have expected to read 
my email with "> " prepended, but instead _your_ answers are indented.  
What mail client is that?
