For WinSCP, from the Login screen, select the site, select Edit for an existing site, then Advanced, SSH/Authentication and check 'Attempt authentication with Pageant'. For PuTTY-CAC, select Connection/SSH/Auth and select 'Attempt authentication using Pageant'. It holds your private keys in memory so that you can use them whenever you are connecting to a server.

I assumed it was the latter - that having an ssh-agent running on the host would be necessary for agent forwarding, so I set it up at the beginning, but that was a mistake.įirst I ssh to host ccam (a raspberry pi) with no Agent Forwarding and confirm there's no agent socket or added keys: The forwarding is like ssh port-forwarding: it's tunnelling, not client-server negotiation. There's no debug output I could see to explain what was happening, the host just silently uses it's existing ssh-agent and no forwarding occurs.

Due to forwarding, I should be able to ssh to from b1 and it should work, without asking me for a password, but it doesn't.

I ssh to it like this: ssh I get logged in without being asked for a password because I already copied my public key. In my own computer, running MacOSX, I have this in ~/.ssh/config Host *ī1 is a virtual machine running Ubuntu 12.04.
