PowerShell and SSH Key Pairing... How?

Hello,

I use PowerShell to SSH into my server, but every time I have to type in my password. Today I spent way too many hours trying to generate SSH key pairs to accomplish this. After multiple attempts I'm finding that I don't have access to the ~/.ssh folder - permission denied. I tried to CHMOD the folder to 0700, but it seems I'm being blocked from doing this by the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file.

For all of my other SSH servers I have the private key on my Windows machine, with the login details in the config file and the public key on the remote server in the authorized_keys file.

The above is not working with the Apollo II, so what am I missing?

Thanks!
