Let's check a few things:
* Does your .ssh directory look like this:
Directory of C:\Users\Beman\.ssh
09/25/2010 07:39 AM <DIR> . 09/25/2010 07:39 AM <DIR> .. 09/06/2010 07:00 PM 1,675 id_rsa 06/17/2008 08:13 AM 630 id_rsa.keystore 09/06/2010 07:00 PM 396 id_rsa.pub 08/30/2013 11:05 AM 4,695 known_hosts
Not quite - I don't have a id_rsa.keystore C:\Users\Paul>dir .ssh Volume in drive C is Win7Ult Volume Serial Number is 6493-25EF Directory of C:\Users\Paul\.ssh 13-Dec-2013 12:20 <DIR> . 13-Dec-2013 12:20 <DIR> .. 13-Dec-2013 12:20 1,675 github_rsa 13-Dec-2013 12:20 392 github_rsa.pub 24-Sep-2011 16:52 1,743 id_rsa 24-Sep-2011 16:52 405 id_rsa.pub 04-Jan-2014 12:23 1,595 known_hosts 5 File(s) 5,810 bytes 2 Dir(s) 10,254,884,864 bytes free
* Is your .ssh directory in you %HOME% folder? I'm not sure if I have a HOME folder?

* In TortoiseGit | Settings | Network is the SSH client specified as: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ssh.exe
No it is C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoiseGitPLink.exe (I believe that I do have this file) but I can change it to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\ssh.exe?
I used to have a lot of trouble getting SSH to work at all, but particularly with TortoiseGit. It all came down to .ssh being in the wrong place, and the particular ssh client.
Suggestions? Paul PS I there an real advantage in using SSH rather than https?
