Ok

they download the .pub file from IBM i to Windows.


That's correct. You would then make that download the authorized_keys file
or append it to an extant authorized_keys file.

The only Windows *sshd server* I have used is Cygwin's, so I don't know
what silliness any other Windows product might exhibit.

That said, your server, whatever it is, is clearly running.

Things that can go wrong:

- no matching key (seems ruled out)
- wrong perms on server .ssh dir (seems ruled out)
- wrong perms on home dir (some ssh implementation also want the home
dir above .ssh to be unreadable by outsiders
- formatting flaws in authorized_keys file (line breaks inside key)
- no matching cyphers
- bad directives in sshd_config

That's pretty much the list.

Did you run the ssh command from the IBM i with -v -v -v yet?

More -v's make more debug info. 90% of the time you can find it there.
