Note: I see this question but it does not help me.

I have installed tortoise SVN on Windows 7 PC, my repository is on Linux server. I created the both private and public keys using PUTTYGEN and saved the public key on authorized_keys file and added the private key using PAGEANT.
Previously I had all of this and the tortoise SVN worked correctly, but now I have some error when I want to checkout projects from server using the following command:

svn+ssh://user@x.x.x.x/...

Error:

Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh://user@x.x.x.x'
To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.
Network connection closed unexpectedly

Now in my /home/svnuser/.ssh I have two files: authorized_keys and db_rsa.
I pasted the public key in the authorized_keys file, but don't know what should be copied in the db_rsa

  1. As suggested by error message: debug connectivity problems - connect to host in pure SSH-session, using PLink and PageAnt
  2. But you'll discover already known problem: server-side Linux can't understand Putty's style key in authorized_keys and expect it in OpenSSH-compatible form (PuttyGen can perform such conversion)
