The OpenSSH agent is running but the server still rejected your connection.You may need to add the correct key to your agent by selecting Tools > Add SSH Key.

PLease note that manually logging in with a username and password is note supported via OpenSSH.Please switch to HTTPS URL or change the SSH cient option to PuTTY/PLINK inTools > options

I think @tonka is right - you need to convert the Putty key to an OpenSSH key.

• Open PuTTYgen
• Click Load
• Locate + select your private key
• Click Conversions > Export OpenSSH key
• Save to C:\Users\yourusername\.ssh\id_rsa

This worked for me...

Hey,

Do you store the private Key as id_rsa in die ~/.ssh directory?

Do you use other hoster like github on the same machine?

Hi i need create the directory  ~/.ssh ?

and i dont know the secod question sorry i dont know about this iusse 

[tonka]

Yes, you should create ~/.ssh if it does not exist. Copy your private key with the name id_rsa into this directory.

I see that you use puttygen to create your ssh key pair, so i think you have to convert it to a openssh key before.

You could also use plink/pagent with your puttygen key instead of openssh (which as far as i know is the recommended way on windows for SourceTree). You can set your putty private key in the settings of sourcetree (i think it is on the first tab). Close pagent (look in your taskbar) and then restart source. If you have a correct setup you can double-click on pagent - there should be a line with your key in it - if it is empty, your config in sourcetree for your pagent key is not set/not correct.

forget my second question because if you have no ~/.ssh the question is no relavant.
