The server allows password and public key authentication.

Your client is configured to try publickey only.

The server did not accept the public key that your client sent.  The
client was configured to not try any other methods so it gave up.

You should investigate the server to find out why it did not accept the
publickey authentication.

BTW it's polite to start a new thread for a new topic rather than
hijacking an existing one with a different topic.

usually comes from bad judgement.
