Using key only authentication on server

[kencar]

I've been trying to set this up so that I can log in with just a key provide by my sFTP clent side. When I attempt to log in to transfer a file it keeps prompting me for a password. Anyone got this to work?

What I'm aiming for is:
- No password
- Key Only Authentication..

Any help would be greatly apprecated.

No this is server side that I handle. I'm not handling the client... the server is promting them for a password and I want the server only to use the key they supplied.

I am having the same problem. Anyone who can help???

I don't have the Force password with keys option checked. I have a mixed environment where some clients use password and some use keys.

I will have my client test again and get back but when I tried this setp using the CoreFTP Pro client it still asked me for the password even when using just keys. I had to enable the option "Don't prompt for password when empty" on the client to make it work.

Since our client is scripting their SFTP session they don't have the above option.

We also are having issues with this.

His public key is id'd in the proper spot. We have a mix of users on this account, robots pushing data using the key and humans typing in a password to pull down individual parts.

Now the pub key is ssh-dss and not ssh-rsa - could this be the culprit?

--- Update
PEBKAC - Our authentication is working again.
