Hi,

Ok I am not aware of that.

I don't want to do it. That might put me in trouble. Is there anything else I have to do other than the steps I have done for scp before.

Is there anything I should do in sshd_config file?

Which part of that was unclear?

Which file (or files) did you "share"? What,
exactly, does "share" mean to you? For
example, what do these commands show on the
two systems?:

ls -ld .ssh
ls -lR .ssh

_Those_ are actual commands. "I shared this
key to the other server" is noise, which
conveys no useful information.

Which "the logs" would those be? What,
exactly, did you "check", where?

The server is rejecting your key data. I do
not know why. The server knows why. I'll
try this one last time:

LOOK AT THE SYSTEM LOG FILE ON THE SERVER
TO SEE WHAT IT DIDN'T LIKE.
