Thank you for this tutorial!
What actually helped me to login.
Run these commands on a remote machine if you're still unable to login:

$ chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chmod 755 ~/.ssh

You might also have to chmod 600 authorized_keys

P.S, I didn't have to do anything with pageant to be able to get authorized

Many many thanks! There are several manuals in internet, but no one says, that you have to set the "auto-login username" in putty section connection/data. So i wasted hours in installing pageant and passwordless putty login. Login via commandline is also possible with: putty.exe user@servernameorip:id_rsa

Thanks, your post helped me implement passwordless authentication. I would like to add one thing which I have not seen in a lot of places:

It has been documented that the .ssh directory in the user's home directory on the server must have a permission of 700.

However, I realized that not only the .ssh directory, but also the user's home directory cannot give write access to 'group', and 'everyone'. The user's home directory on the server must have permission set to either 700 or 744 (704, 740, etc).

Hi!
Thanks for this very detailed post!

Just wanted to add one more thing: for these steps to work, the SSH server must support passwordless logins also!

To enable this (and if you're doing this on your own machine/s), edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config as root. In it, uncomment the lines that say "PubkeyAuthentication yes". Also, puttygen.exe by default generates SSH2-RSA keys, so also uncomment the "RSAAuthentication yes" line

Thanks again!
