Sftp ssh key Windows 8

[jbatson]

Trying to set up sftp to connect to amazon server. I have dumped into C:\Users\username\.ssh the .ppk, .pem keys that I use for putty. When I create the connection and test I get error message about interactive keyboard disabled.

Are the keys in the correct location? I have searched the issue and have not found any reference to the issue.

You need to use standard key files (they are usually generated by the ssh-keygen and by default named id_rsa.pub and id_rsa)

If you don't have a MinGW shell, you can install MSYSGit, open the MinGW termninal and type: ssh-keygen and follow the steps.
These will create 2 files for you, append the content of the '.pub' file into the authorized_keys on the remote server (usually located under: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys)
and you should be able to connect

Check this post on stackoverflow (CodeLite is using libssh for its SFTP/SSH management):

I used puttygen to convert the ppk file named file_rsa and put it in the .ssh folder. I added connection, it asked if I trusted the connection clicked yes and then a popup about the "interactive keyboard is not enabled on this server".

I saved the connection, went to the sftp tab clicked connect, get the popup "interactive keyboard is not enabled on this server" click ok. When I mouse over the connect/disconnect icon it shows connected but does not list any files.

Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Did you try to use OpenSSH file format (generated with ssh-keygen not via putty)?
Did you try to connect from a command line using the 'ssh' command line tool that comes with MSYSGit?
