What key type you generate? How do you save both parts of the key? You said you copied public key, did you saved private key as well? Or you just assumed it was saved somewhere automatically? -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@freemail.ru) 21.01.2012, <16:36> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
