Try a local ssh login to see if it rules out network
problems. As
in ssh localhost. or ssh -l <user> localhost.
If it is your
network getting in the way it may
rule that out.
Yes that works ( ssh -l <user> localhost ). So
that means it has to
do with the network connections.
Not necessarily. It can be the client, too (your PuTTY).
You didn't
describe the error message in detail (perhaps it is too
unspecific,
GUI clients tend to be like that), but perhaps PuTTY has
some
"verbose" option you can activate. Then you may infer
whether there's
a hole in the net or whether just client and server don't
get along
with each other.
It is some years since I used PuTTY regularly, but I seem to
recall
that it didn't use OpenSSH-type keys and insisted on
generating its own
and providing a conversion to an OpenSSH key, which then had
to be
placed on the server. Is it possible this procedure may have
gone amiss
This has happened to me a couple of times. Regenerating and
converting solved the problem.
It may be wrong, but I'm using putty where putty does not supply
a username or a 'key'. I'm using it just as
a terminal (does someone have an alternate suggestion). I
agree, putty gets along with OpenSSH is a
'almost' fashion. If you convert your 'key' in the right way.
I have been using mine a long time just because
it takes a while to get it to work correctly.
What is your 'PasswordAuthentication'
setting? If this is 'No', you must use keys and so will see errors
similar to yours.
