It sounds like they didn't put your public key into authorized_keys.
(It's a file on the server, in your $HOME/.ssh/ directory)
Make sure that under Connection->SSH it says '2' as preferred version
instead of '2 only' just in case they put it in the wrong file.
check to make sure you're putting the right username in under
Connection->Data->Auto-login username.
You can get some debug info under Session->logging by asking for 'Log
all session output'
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Connecting to host
In the putty config for that connection, under Connection->SSH->Auth,
put the private key file in there.
Or, even better, run pagent on your private key, and then it will run in
memory and never ask your password again.

We have recently been asked by one of our vendors to connect to their
system through SSH. They are a Unix Host - beyond that, I don't have
much information.
We are a 'windows' shop and I'm using Putty version 0.60 to connect
with
a Windows XP Professional machine. I have created a public key and
sent
it to them. They have also sent their public key to me. From what
they're telling me, there should be no password to connect.
When I try to connect it first asks for my passphrase. I'm assuming it
will only do that the first time to validate my key - not sure.
After typing in my passphrase for the key, I get a disconnect message:
Server sent disconnect message type 7 (service not available):
"Unsupported request (pty-req)."
This message appears to be something on their end but they are telling
me it's on my end. Can anyone help?
