You can also get the “server refused our key” error if you have the permission 777 on your $HOME directory.

Thanks for the tip, it helped out greatly. I was able to get it to work and still leave the first line and last two lines in the public key. All I did was concatenate the hash lines into one line and add the ssh-rsa + space part at the beginning. This was important to me because I am trying to automate creating connections between putty and a server so the less I have to edit the file, the less programming I have to do to auto-fix the file

If I followed the steps，including generating and editing the key, as well as chmod command, is there any other reasons which may cause the “server refused our key”.

Another Hint: there is another key in a file named know_hosts, and I even tried to edit the key according to this file’s format. I failed again.

Mostly likely that is caused by too many packet loss, i.e. run a continuous ping to the server, from where you run SSH.
