Would you be abled to advised what other setup I'm missing

Please check the Event Viewer under Applications and Services Logs -> Pragma Fortress SSH Server, also accessible from the "View Event Log" button on the Logging page of the Local Server Configuration program.

There should be an error event at the time of the failed logon. The details will explain why you are unable to logon. 

Most likely the problem is that your user has not been granted access to the server. This can happen if the user is not a valid Windows user with Log on Locally rights or has been restricted access by using one of our User or Group restriction options and the user is not a configured user or member of a configured group.

Hi,

The event log at the server end show "authentication failure,remote disconnected"

Do you know what wrong ?

Hello,

Can you please provide the full details of the event message. The quote you gave does not match any message that we would write to the event log. We would provide a full reason as to why the user was not authenticated correctly.

Hi,

I manage to overcome the error by using the pre created public and private key. I notice that the key which i generate with sshkeygen.exe is causing the error.
