    Red face SFTP SSH public key issue

    I have setup a sftp server for someone to connect to me and get text files.

    The other system will SFTP into my system automatically and upload the files to its network. The connectivity works vis SFTP Filezilla.

    But, the actual process to get those text files will occur automatically by the remote system.

    I was given two public key files and told to add them to our system. I added them to /home/user/.ssh directory and added the contents of those two files to a file called authorized_keys.

    They are having problems connecting automatically to our system. I don't have that much knowledge on SSH public key authentication. If anyone has any suggestions to help me I greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks TJ

    have you copied the authorized keys from some where or created it using ssh-keygen

    It guess in your .ssh directory is_dsa key file is not there if u have simply copied ur authorized key file .
    so either u copy that file or u generate your public key using ssh-keygen
    for more details you can check man page of ssh-keygen.
