SFTP access, why does it not just work?

Posted on May 21, 2017

I’ve set up all keys etc yet all I get is the following error is FileZilla:

Command: keyfile “D:\path\to\ssh_keys\private_email_passphrase.ppk” Command: open “root@138.197.105.183” 22 Error: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey) Error: Could not connect to server

Anyone have an in detail solution of how to connect? Apart from the DO one which I followed to the letter but doesn’t seem to work.

Many thanks
