Issue with password less sftp2 using F-secure SSH Client.

I am facing problems while trying to do a password less SSH to Unix box from Windows. Public key was generated using F-secure. When the F-secure client attempts, it connects without password but when I try to use sftp2 in command line it prompts for password.
I have tried several options and failed. Not much help in Google too.

Any response to possibilities will be much appreciated.

Below is the sftp2 -v output:

C:\Documents and Settings\hp-\Desktop>sftp2 -v mha@10.205.50.190

It seems that you are lacking SSH installation in Windows. Try to install OpenSSH for Windows first. Additionally, I believe that you will not be able to create a connection without a password because the password is actually the key to establish a successful connection even if you have a PGP key. Assign passwords then you will be able to connect.
