A google search will turn up several good step by step procedures to accomplish this. I realized after a few futile attempts that the file that is mentioned as authorized_keys in many places should actually be authorized_keys2 as described here.
I think the difference in file naming may have occurred due to changes in the OpenSSH tool set and a review of the change logs may be needed to confirm at what version the change was introduced.

WinSCP server prompt
I have recently started using WinSCP to do ssh file transfers from a windows server.
I found it very annoying that I would need to press ok to a 'server prompt' dialog for each transfer when I dragged over a bunch of files to the destination server.
What I realized is that the server prompt will always be displayed for every new transfer which is initiated while any of the pending transfers is not complete.
To say it in other words, first do a complete transfer for one file. You will have to say ok to a server prompt for that. Subsequent transfers will not bring up the server prompt.
