I used the following thread to setup putty to ssh into my freenas box
https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...ows-clients-using-putty-on-freenas-9-3.34893/
I worked my way through the thread and got everything setup. But when I use putty to try and access the ssh, I get the error server refused our key, and it says " disconected: no supported authentification method available".

I have seen on some other posts it references to check the permission on .ssh and authorized_keys. How would I go about doing this?

Also are there any other suggestions for how to fix this error?

You can always start a shell, change to the .ssh directory, and make any needed permissions changes.

It sounds like you might not know how to change permissions. Once you get to your .ssh folder as Spearfoot illustrated, you use the chmod command. Type man chmod to see how to use it and google for examples. It's a bit complex but works great.

To see what the permissions should be, and how to set up your keys, check this post.
