I have had problems using sftp and other services on the Linux Subsystem for Windows, as I have not been able to point the services to the correct ssh-folder.
I have been using the same setup as in linux by placing by keys in the folder:
/home/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa
However, this is not the folder that sftp etc. look in by default on the subsystem! I have looked at multiple posts on the topic, and only found posts pointing to this setup.
The correct default folder to place your ssh-key in for them to work on the subsystem for linux is:
C:\Users\myuser\.ssh\id_rsa
And if you are on the subsystem the path is:
/mnt/c/Users/H52Z/.ssh/id_rsa
I hope this solves the problem for eveyone who has also been struggeling with the setup.
