Problem: Can't push using Git from Windows to Linux. Also can't connect to git user over ssh.
Update #1: I changed "PasswordAuthentication" to no and tested. Key did not work, but password did. Obviously has to be something to do with the ssh-rsa key.
Update #2: Tried generating a brand new key that is different from the one on my user account. Still refuses the key, same issue.
Update #3: Problem solved and answer has been posted. Logs were actually useless due to the fact that I was using a program that couldn't read .ppk files.
Running CentOS 6.4, entire drive is encrypted, home folders are not encrypted.
I am using git on windows to push to a git repo on server. Basically following this: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server
I had it working before just fine on fedora & debian… but not sure what happened here. The first thing I thought it could have been was the home folder being encrypted, but folders are not encrypted.
I tried copying the key again and deleting the user and adding him back. I tried connecting to the 'git' user using just ssh and I got the log below. Not exactly sure what the is causing the issue.
Here is my config file on my windows machine.
Fetch & Pull is: ssh://name1/opt/git/git.project
Config file:
Host name1
HostName name2.com
Port 12345
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private_key.ppk
Here is what happens:
USER_NAME@MY-PC ~/Documents/Workspace/git.project (master)
$ ssh -vT -p 12345 -i "C:/Users/USER_NAME/.ssh/private_key.ppk" git@WEB_NAME.

Note: Add 'sudo' as need be.
I have never had to do this with other Linux distros, really surprised I needed to do this.
