I have the following for my SecureCRT settings.  I am using a password,
not a public key, but I was having problems implementing ssh2 at first.
My settings for the connection are as follows:

Protocol: ssh2
Port: 22
Cipher: 3DES
MAC: MD5
Authentication: Password
SSH Server: Standard

When you create a new connection in SecureCRT (atleast for 3.01), ssh2
defaults to the SSH Server type of "DataFellows 2.0.13", which does not
work.  However, this may not even be the problem, since your using a
public key instead of password.  Hope this helps.
