Hi All,

FYI:  I did a little debugging and deduced the following (please let me
know if any of my deductions are incorrect - I'm rather a novice with public
keys):

The PuTTY sftp application only uses SSH2 authentication which rules out
using RSA keys.
The scp client associated with PuTTY uses SSH1 which allows me to use RSA
keys.

So, I think I've answered my own question (unless I got something wrong
above!).

Regards,

Brad Van Orden
