Problem with ssh using RSA authentication on Windows 7

[sarthakjain <sarthakiitkgp at gmail dot com>]

I am working on a 64-bit windows 7 machine.

I have installed ssh on my machine through cygwin.

I am trying to connect an XP machine to this windows7 machine through SSH
using RSA authentiation..I am proceeding as follows:

                     1. On the XP machine, I create an RSA public/private
key pair using the command

                                            ssh-keygen -t rsa

                          following 2 files get created at ~/.ssh/ location
:

                                          id_rsa and id_rsa.pub

                      2. Next I copy the id_rsa.pub file on my windows7
machine.

                      3. Then I append the contents of id_rsa.pub to the
file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the windows7 machine.

                                           cd ~/.ssh

                                           cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

                                           chmod 600 authorized_keys

                                           chmod 755 ~/.ssh

                       4. I restart the sshd service on this machine

                       5. I try to ssh from the XP machine to the win7
machine.

 

I am observing the following output:

                       ...

                       ..

                       ..

                       debug1: Offering public key:
/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa

                       debug2: We sent a public key packet, wait for reply

                       connection closed by xx.xx.xx.xx

 

Plz help!!!!!!!!!!!
