Launchpad itself

Permission denied (publickey) - Windows, possible ssh conflict

Asked by Michael Roberts

Hi! I'm just starting to try out Bazaar, from a Windows 7 64-bit machine on which I've also used git and SVN (both with - I believe - the Cygwin ssh, which might be the problem).

I've also got Putty installed, of course, and I've used it to generate my key, following the instructions listed. But when I go to get my first branch (from the command line with "bzr branch lp:~hesky-fisher/plover/windows") I get a "Permission denied (publickey)" error. (This is on the second try; on the first, I got the RSA key fingerprint message.)

I don't know which SSH Bazaar is trying to use, but I'm convinced that it's not Putty and thus the wrong key is being used. How can I determine this? And how can I maintain everything going forward without stepping on git?

Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, I solved it - I should have used the .ssh directory under cygwin\home. So bzr is, in fact, using Cygwin's ssh.

THANK YOU. This was the solution to my problem too. Except my Bazaar was looking in Git's .ssh in C:\Users\shaun-hill\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Git.
