PKA authentication

Hi,
i am running copSSH now on a Windows 2000 machine and it works great!

We now use SSH primarily to do port forwarding of Windows RDP ports of the Windows machines in the same network of the SSH server, but are restricted direct-access by a firewall.

Now comes my question:
Can someone tell me how to setup PKA Authentication without the null-passphrase?
(remark: i am pretty new to SSH and i am not very familiar with Unix)

Help would be very appreciated.

Regards,
Peter

Re: PKA authentication

Agent-based PKA functionality is not been tested with copSSH. However, I intend to introduce it in the next main release.

I see WinSCP, which also uses OpenSSH under the hood, bundles some tools from Putty, including Pagent. Perhaps the same approach would work for copSSH.
