Thanks for the tip. I'm using SSH2. So, I took your advice of installing the
development snapshot. Now I get the following error message:

    Unable to use key file "C:\Program Files\putty\id_dsa" (OpenSSH SSH2
private key)

I receive this error message just before PuTTY asks for a password.
Switching to id_rsa doesn't help.

Ideas?

Cheers,

Robin
