libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile with public key

Hi guys,
I want to use libssh2_suerauth_publickey_fromfile() to copy file to remote
sever.
But there are some questions:

1. why do I have to use public key or passphrase to do the authentication?
    If public key is NULL, the error message will be "Unable to open public
key file"

2. If I use
          libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile(session, username,
"/home/caosuwei/.ssh/id_rsa.pub", "/home/caosuwei/.ssh/id_rsa", "123456"));
    the error message will be "(-18) Username/PublicKey combination invalid"

   What should I do with it ?

Thanks.
