Thanks for your answer, Rajsekar.
That step has done it well for me, but I'm still with the problem.
I've spent at least 15 hours just with this, at the moment. I'm really
becaming crazy. It goes on asking for a password interactively. Maybe I
should change some option in the "ssh_config" file for the linux client and
the "sshd_config" file for the windows sshd server?
I'm using protocol 2. Maybe I'm not indicating the correct parameters
In the windows "sshd_config" file for the sshd server:
1)
What should I do with the "Hostkey" line? This is refered to the path in
client computers? If this is a windows path, how could write it?
2) I've put:
PubKeyAuthentication yes
I guess this is correct (?)
3) How can I write in windows the path to my authorized keys file? I'also seen
that something like
AuthorizedKeysFile C:\Program files\OpenSSH\etc\authorized_keys
prevents the server from starting.
In the linux "ssh_config" file, I'm writing:
PasswordAuthentication yes
HostbasedAuthentication yes
It always asks for a password, and if I put "PasswordAuthentication no", then
I've a message saying "Permission denied". Oh, my god!!
Well, thank you for any help or advice,
Javier

You are trying to create two keys seperately.
That is not the way
Execute ssh-keygen once and you get a pair of keys, private and public.
private is kept secret (client side).
public is put in the server and since you want to tell ssh server that
whenever you/anyone says he has got a key (private), the server should
check the public, you will have to put it in some place(I do not know where
to put in windows - Read documentation regarding this). In linux what you
would (typically) do is this.
Client$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f new_key
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
...
...
...
Now you will (usually) add the file new_key.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
in the server. Then you can use ssh `-i' option and everything must work
as expected.
I hope this clears the doubt even though I have provided quite terse info.
