Simon,
No production SSH server software that I know of can perform PK
authentication-only logins on the Windows platform. However, Van Dyke
Technologies' latest version of their SSH server for the Windows platform is
in beta and supports PK authentication-only
(http://www.vandyke.com/products/beta/vshell/index.html).
If you are constrained to using the Windows platform, I would give it a try.
Otherwise I would take a spare PC, install Linux (or other Unix if
available) and run your favorite SSH server software on it. PK
authentication-only logins have been supported in the Un*x platform for a
while.

Subject: SSH with Public key
Hello,
We set up SSH server on a Windows2000 server and SSH client
on a Windows 2000 workstation. Both SFTP and SSH worked.
We wanted to use the Public key instead of password. The SSH
client was used to create a key and uploaded to the SSH server,
the upload went to the SFTP directory (as specified in the
Configuration file) as the .ssh2 directory. When tried to connect
using public key it failed.
As a test, we uploaded the key to an unix box, the .ssh2 went to
the user home directory and it worked.
Then we moved the .ssh2 from the STP directory to the user dir (ie
C:\Documents and Settings\user\.ssh2), it doesn't work. Moved to
the SSH program directory, still doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me where the .ssh2 directory should be on the
Windows 2000 server?
Thank you very much.
Simon
