The other options here did not work for me either (tried both through the GUI and multiple icacls methods). Comparing a working id_rsa file to one that it complained about (claimed 770 permissions), the permissions as shown in Windows were identical. A simple copy and paste in Explorer seemed to reset the permissions so did not work, but by using ROBOCOPY /COPYSEC (from an elevated command prompt) I was able to make a copy of a working key file, edit it to insert my new private key, and then this error went away.

| Jul 2, 2020 at 12:16 | comment | added | JW0914 | At least four other answers provide the exact same, or more, information that is in this answer, and it's simply not possible for any permissions issues to occur if any of those four answers were followed. | |

| Jul 2, 2020 at 11:39 | comment | added | JW0914 | Please elaborate on "I couldn't get any of these answers working for me due to permission issues...", as there's at least four previous answers that permanently resolve permissions issues. | |
