On the server there is only need for the authorized_keys file. It has
to contain your public key (from identity.pub).

In WinSCP you need your *private* key (from identity).
Don't keep your private key on the server!

Of course you may work without keys too - password authentication with
ssh is still much better than telnet :)

Test if ssh works. If yes, you may disable inetd.
