  • How exactly does this even apply to the question being asked?

  • @JW0914 It works around the issue. SSH with Mingw-w64 doesn't look at the key permissions and will allow you to connect with a machine readable key file. Commented Jul 3, 2020 at 0:53
  • What you're suggesting is simply insecure and would never be recommended. SSH keys should only be accessible by the user they belong too and no other user, group, or service... doing so negates the purpose of an SSH key. Please google the error message in the question or refer directly to OpenSSH's man pages.
