5 can't set up my ssh key - ID: 1737919
Last Update: Comment added ( burley )

I have been trying to set up an SSH key so that I don't have to type in my
password over and over. I have followed the instructions for creating this
key using Putty. I left the key passphrase blank. My key comment was
byudrew@shell.sourceforge.net. I saved my private key in the "keys" folder.
I then uploaded my public key. I waited for a while, but when I try to
perform any operations in TortoiseCVS on the code (project name: aviones),
I still have to enter my password. I have tried repeating this process
multiple times, but it still does not work. Am I missing a step, or did I
do something else wrong? I am pretty new at this, so I am not sure what to
do. Thanks for the help.

Greetings,

That's a client-side issue, the server requests the key from the client,
the client then looks in its known locations of keys and serves them up
until there is a match or no match. You should load it up into pageant,
that'll likely solve your issue.

Thank you,

No. I just followed what the instructions said. I gave the private key a
name and saved it as a .ppk file in my "keys" directory. I didn't do
anything else with the private key. I'm not really sure how SourceForge
would know which file to look in for my private key. I didn't see a place
to specify that.

Please advise: Did you load up the private key into pageant, and leave
pageant open?
