SSH Help - OpenSSH

Hi Guys,

Im trying to acess a unix server from a windows machine via ssh using openssh as ssh server. Im wondering if you could inform me about the procedure that I need to follow, to have acess to the unix server without password, i mean, with public key authentication.

I have generated a public key via ssh-keygen, and I have copied the public key to the unix server to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. However, I still get the password prompt, with the following verbose information:

Why is it not working the public key authentication?

Any help? Thanks for your help.

Best regards
