I was using Git with beanstalk in windows 7. Now I got new system with Windows 8.1. Now I configured Git and Tortoisegit with new system.Its working fine in local commit but when I pushed to live I got error:

Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (Sever sent: public key)

I added SSH key and all? Is there any problem in Windows 8.1? Thanks

Answer 1

I opened TortoiseGit->Settings -> Network and in SSH Client I changed "ssh.exe" instead of "TortoiseGitPlink.exe". Now it works fine.

Answer 2

Or run Putty authentication agent (Pageant.exe) from TortoiseGit folder (usually C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin) and add PuttyKey manually to the app.

Answer 3

This error indicates that the server requires public key authentication and no key was provided by the client.

TortoiseGit by default uses TortoiseGitPLink (which is based on Putty Link).

Therefore it requires key to be stored in the putty format and also

• configured in the putty session (cf. https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-ssh-howto.html) OR
• loaded in putty agent (this is done by TortoiseGit if loading ssh keys is enabled; can also be done manually by starting Putty authentication agent (can be found in the Startmenu or in TortoiseGit installation folder) and then loading your key; also other alternatives such as KeePass KeyAgent integrations exist).

You can, however, also use OpenSSH, by setting the SSH client to ssh.exe on TortoiseGit -> Settings -> Network if you have a OpenSSH key configured.

Answer 4

On windows 8.1 and TortoiseGit 2.1.0.0, changing SSH Client to just "ssh.exe" solved this issue.

Answer 5

check pageant.exe under C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin is running. and add key

Answer 6

For me this error was coming on windows 10. It was giving this error due to different project name on my local than git repo. After fresh clone it started working fine.

Answer 7

If you are on windows 8.1 and TortoiseGit 2.1.0.0, simpli changing ssh client into "ssh.exe" will solve the problem.

Answer 8

I received this error because my key agent (KeePass KeyAgent plugin) didn't have the correct key loaded anymore. Added the correct key and everything was fine.

Answer 9

TortoiseGit may, from time to time, unload your putty key.

Simply open TortoiseGit -> Settings -> Git -> Remote

Then reload your putty key for your chosen remote connection (e.g. origin)

Answer 10

In Windows, configured Pageant key is removed. So, I added freshly.

TortoiseGit-> Select Pageant -> You can add your private key that was previously saved.

It worked for me.
