Unable to open //.ssh2/identification

[watergrinder]

Hi I generated ssh public keys using ssh-keygen. I tried using scp to transfer it to another server but ended up with the following.

Any clues?

debug: server offers auth methods 'publickey,password'.
debug: SshConfig/sshconfig.c:2432: Unable to open //.ssh2/identification
debug: Ssh2AuthClient/sshauthc.c:315: Method 'publickey' disabled.
debug: server offers auth methods 'publickey,password'.
debug: Ssh2AuthPasswdClient/authc-passwd.c:104: Starting password query...

are you not missing something here?
open //.ssh2/identification
it is trying to open root's .ssh2 directory.
is this what you expect?

from the log its seen:
1. server offers auth methods 'publickey,password' &
2. client faild to use 'publickey' and hence trying to use the next auth menthod 'password'.

if you don't get anything after
Starting password query...

then hit the "BackSpace" key it may endup at passwd prompt... let me know if it works.
