Here are a few resources that I've found useful:
PuTTY Users Manual: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/
PuTTY Download Page: http://chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtat.../download.html
An Example: http://linux-sxs.org/networking/openssh.putty.html
I've downloaded
puttygen.exe and apparently it successfully converted the results of
$ ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa .
Regardless, I still cannot get the PuTTY session to negociate with the (
restarted) sshd. The PuTTY log on the Windoze box as follows:
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2009.06.08 16:32:11 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Event Log: Appending session log (SSH packets mode) to file: E:\user\RTW\.ssh\putty.log
Event Log: Looking up host "66.138.104.73"
Event Log: Connecting to 66.138.104.73 port 22
Event Log: Network error: Connection timed out
Apparently from what I've read, the (FreeBSD) server is not responding, acknowledging, or negotiating with the Windoze client.
I've just about run out of ideas.
I've attached the sshd_config file.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
