sftp from HP-UX 11.23 to Windows

[RobertCarback]

I am trying to automate an sftp from HP-UX to Windows and have generated a key so I don't have to use a password --

ssh-keygen -t dsa

I gave the windows admin the id_dsa.pub file, but he is unsure where to put this file. Any help? Have I missed something?

You may want to try this

From the DOS prompt in the DOS window:

Create a new folder on C:\ (e.g., SSHhome).
Create a second folder on C:\ and name it: .ssh

Don't forget the .(dot).
From your Windows machine, get the current version of the ssh executable
ssh-1-2.14-win32bin.zip from:
ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/groups/glast/ground/WindowsThings/

Shalom,

Since openssh does not ship by default with windows, the first thing you need to to is obtain the software and install it into windows.

Some options:
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
http://www.openssh.com/windows.html

The documentation for the product you choose will tell you where and what permissions to put on the public keys.
