Hmmm which steps are you trying? I had some issues like those before, but I was eventually able to connect. Try to delete all previous keys from your server at Forge and try again with a fresh key copy pasted from terminal.

Unable to get SSH to work
Using Forge with Digital Ocean. I have stored my public key into the Forge interface. I have pointed both PuTTy and HeidiSQL to my matching private key but I can't gain access. When I simply try to access the command line via PuTTy it tells me that "the server refused our key". I have tried generating new keys and uploading the new key to Forge, but the same result. What am I missing?

Make sure that you are connecting with the username forge, in addition to the public key.

Thank you deringer, that was the problem! I was connecting as root. Now I am half way home as I am still struggling with getting HeidiSQL to connect via an ssh tunnel. No luck.
