I try to create remote repository in my own Ubuntu server(SFTP). I installed and config Git by follow this link : http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server. Then try to push my code to server from my local machine it gives following error.

$ git push origin master
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights 
and the repository exists."

The public keys are available in local .ssh directory as well as in server authorized_keys file.
How would you troubleshoot this?

Are you sure the path of the repo is correct? (`git@gitserver:/path/to/your/project.git`), with the right case? – VonC Nov 22 '13 at 11:58
i am using my own server that will like (servername@ip:/home/git/project.git) – Madhubalan K Nov 22 '13 at 12:09
I understand: same question than before, but adapted to your server, obviously: Are you sure the path of the repo is correct? (`/home/git/project.git`) – VonC Nov 22 '13 at 12:10
yes thats correct i created project.git with in git directory and initialize it. – Madhubalan K Nov 22 '13 at 12:15
Ok. Just to understand, why are you mentioning sftp, while the link you mention is about ssh and running the sshd (ssh daemon) to listen to git queries over ssh? – VonC Nov 22 '13 at 12:17
My server type is SFTP is it any problem to access remote repository? – Madhubalan K Nov 22 '13 at 12:37
I am unfamiliar with sftp. I only use sshd. – VonC Nov 22 '13 at 12:39
okay i need sshd only. how can i solve this above error. – Madhubalan K Nov 22 '13 at 12:44
