It’s likely that your file paths/folder paths for Putty to see your public keys to access your site are either incorrect, missing, or the files themselves are missing. These settings in Putty are in: Connection -> SSH -> Auth

No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey), it basically says that the server said it supported public key authentication only and PuTTY was not able to provide it. I will recommend you double-check the settings in PuTYY. You can check these tutorials:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/create-with-putty/

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-ssh-keys-with-putty-to-connect-to-a-vps

You can try copying the key via ssh instead of using PuTTY. You can also use the ssh-copy-id command in order to do so. An example will be:

  1. ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/mykey user@host

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
