I followed this youtube tutorial to try to install tortoise svn on Windows and commit on a unix remote server.

I don't want tortoise to ask me for my password on every commit. This tutorial works fine, but even when pageant is configured with a correct key, I have to give my password for a user which is not root.

What am I missing?

EDIT : I tried to .ssh/authorized_keys in my /home/{user} I have tried the tutorial again with these params and chmod my files with 600 / 700, but still nothing works. Putty / Tortoise keep asking me for my password. I have read the docs.

This is the solution :

  • generate a keygen dsa or rsa with your password like tutorial in the question
  • Your user has to have his own .ssh directory in his home dir.
  • It's better for mind's sake to call your rsa/dsa key = id_rsa or id_dsa
  • don't forget if you still have issues you can debug on debian : ssh -v -l {user} {ip server or remote server}
  • do your thing with Putty and pageant key...
  • start new session and VOILA !!
