In our university setup the only alternative to ssh/sftp would be pure ftp

And I once tried to use key-based authentication with winssh (or putty? can't
remember) and even I didn't succeed. How should I expect them to use it?
Have fun,

From my experience using key-logins only helps
when you have only linux
users. Most windows people don't really understand the concepts of
security, public keys and such.
True, but for home-machines of Linux Audio freaks,
usually nobody from a
Windows machine needs to log in anyway. ;) And if it's a public server,
I'd rather not have anybody logging in through ssh who is not capable of
dealing with key logins. I disabled password logins through ssh on
my public machines.
