Tom, On the desktop I had the public key permissions set to 600; just changed them to 644 and restarted sshd. Now both desktop and portable have these permissions in ~/.ssh: -rw-r--r-- authorized_keys -rw-r--r-- config # contains the port number -rw------- 12:42 id_ed25519 -rw-r--r-- id_ed25519.pub -rw-r--r-- known_hosts When I try to connect from desktop (local) to portable (remote) I see this: $ ssh typha ssh: connect to host typha port <port>: Connection refused When I try to connect from portable (local) to desktop (remote) I see this: $ ssh salmo Permission denied (publickey). I can add verbosity to the output if that helps. I'm still not seeing what I'm missing. Ran ssh-keygen with the same passphrase on both hosts. Running ssh-agent on both hosts returns information about it.
