Authentication Using Public Key / Private keys returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_FILE [NC]

Hi,

I am trying to authenticate into SFTP server by using the following
function call.

LIBSSH2_API int libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION
*session,
                                       const char *username,
                                       unsigned int username_len,
                                       const char *publickey,
                                       const char *privatekey,
                                       const char *passphrase);

The function is returning LIBSSH2_ERROR_FILE .

I cross checked by using the File Zilla client by adding the Private key.
I am successfully authenticated.

The Public/Private key pairs are generated by PuttyGen.

Could you please help me whether i need to change the public and private
files format compatible to LibSSH2.

Regards,
Suresh
