  1. created public/private keys using puttygen on my computer.
  2. put the public key in the .ssh/authorized_keys folder on the server
  3. setup pageant.exe to use the pk on my computer.
  4. when I run pageant, and connecting using putty it still asks me for my password.

what am I missing?

I did do a: chmod 700 on .ssh folder chmod 600 on authorized_keys file

thanks!
