    I purchased the backupsy VPS and can't seem to get putty to connect VIA SSH with my keys. I've followed multiple tutorials to double check myself and I still can't get it to connect (Putty tells me "Server refused our key").

    Tut: How To Create SSH Keys with PuTTY to Connect to a VPS | DigitalOcean

    Any idea. I created a fresh key within puttygen and still no luck. I'm able to use the private/pub key for my digital ocean VPS's and my ServInt server with no problems.

    I've attached the ssdh_config file for reference. File permissions:
    .ssh 0700
    authorized_keys 0644

    This is not the default ssh_config file, it did not work. I made my changes based off my DO VPS in which my keys do work with..

    Thanks!

    EL6 doesn't ship with the ssh key file in selinux so that is likely the issue. Try running: restorecon -R -v ~/.ssh

    Thanks for taking the time to join and reply @Oktay Kilic :)

    FYI, Centmin Mod LEMP stack disables selinux prior to Centmin Mod installation on a VPS server so probably isn't the issue.

    Which server should the private key be placed on? The backup server or the production server.
