| Sep 29, 2020 at 9:51 | comment | added | user1224005 | I know that if I store the file in the user folder all works fine. I have tested that already. When using the option -i %home%\.ssh\id_rsa , I'm getting the issue: Permissions for 'K:\\Batch\\mySSH\\.ssh\\id_rsa' are too open. | |

Try and use the absolute path to your identity file, you might need to escape spaces with \ if your path contains any. Hopefully this should fix your issue: -i K:\Batch\mySSH\.ssh\id_rsa. Alternatively, consider storing your identity files inside of your user directory, inside of .ssh. This would be better practice than leaving your identity outside of the user protected directory structure.
