openvpn + ssh public key

larry1

Hi,

I managed to set up a working tls-ssl vpn.

server 10.7.4.2
client 10.7.4.3
They ping each other.

I also have ssh with public key set up and I am able to connect to my server's public ip.

But when I try to scp a file from my client to the server "scp test.txt remoteuser@10.7.4.2, it always ask for a password. There is no password since my ssh is public keyed, and so is my vpn connection.

Why cannot I scp a file using the virtual ip ? scp works perfectly fine on the public ip, though.

For security reason, I cannot scp on the public ip but only on the private ip.

Many thanks,

Larry

first i would like to say that this has nothing to do with openvpn...

are you running a ssh-agent on your client? (f.e pageant)
