Good evening. I’ve been trying to set up a server that can run a script I bought, specifically the kernel video sharing one. I have been trying to solve this issue for the last couple hours. I have done everything from resetting my server to starting a new one. Basically, I am trying to set up my SSH keys for Ubuntu. When I try to authenticate to the Ubuntu server, I keep getting a message that says: Permission denied (publickey). I have entered my public key correctly, using the guide found on this page. I have even gone so far as to restart my server from scratch and make new keys to use on my new server, still the same error. I use PuttyGen to generate the keys, and then add them both through the operating system and the settings section before the OS. What am I doing wrong? I am using Windows if that makes a difference.

If I were to start from scratch, using putty to generate new keys and starting my server with the the SSH already connected, how do add my public SSH to Ubuntu without getting the error? My private is already added…
