Problem w/ SSH User Auth

It seems there is no problem with the ssh public key and private key, so could you find any related error message in the domain logs?

BTW, please check on the option "Enable password", otherwise, anyone can login without password via FTP protocol.

I figured it out.. I had to place the public key in the users folder, then it connected.
