is there a way of adding an ssh key in a windows machine? I'm trying to do rsync over ssh on my windows machine, but i keep having to put my password in. I have installed cwrsync, which as SSH built it, meaning I can use the windows dos screen.
I can successfully ssh in without password by creating a private key and telling ssh where to find it:
I bundled together a load of software and spoofed the Process which allows the key to be held.
If you can tell me which version of windows are you running, then I'll give you more details and send the programme over. It would be good if you could help, as I want to test it a bit more.
ssh-add is a part of the ssh agent, which give you the function you request.
Try to find a ssh agent to windows.
