[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Public key problem.

[Ulf L. <ulf...@we...>]

I am trying to do ha file transfer in Win32 environment using sftp and 
private/public keys.

When using user and password authentication it works fine but if I use my 
private key it stops  and print  "Loading private key failed."

If  I use WinSCP or Putty and my private key it works fine.

---------code----------
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new("my.host", ( user => "XXXXXX", password => "", 
debug => 1,
    ssh_args => (  (  [ identity_files => ([ "c:/test-RSA-Private.ppk" ]) 
]  )  )
  ) );
