OpenSSH package has utility "ssh-copy-id". You run it from machine from
which you want to connect and generated key files (ssh-keygen utility),
give credentials (user and hostname where you want connect) for first
time and it does everything necessary. You could try it even for cygwin.
Private key file (SSH ones) generally doesn't have any suffix, public
keys have .pub
Also note, that file .ssh/authorized_keys has to have rights set to 600.
