Debugging has led me to this log: /usr/bin/ssh \ -o "ForwardAgent no" -o "ClearAllForwardings yes" \ -o "batchmode yes" -o "Protocol 2" \ -luser \ -v -s \ somesite \ sftp (This is the command internally being used by sftp): OpenSSH_4.0p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to somesite [212.112.227.138] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /users/user/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /users/user/.ssh/id_dsa type 2 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4 debug1: match: OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4 pat OpenSSH_3.* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'somesite' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /users/user/.ssh/known_hosts:9 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /users/user/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Offering public key: /users/user/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: No more authentication methods to try. Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). Does this ring a bell to somebody? To me it looks as if the remote site is searching for an rsa key, while I am only offering a dsa key.
