i have spent hours AI led ssh key permissions manipulation, and occasionally can connect to the sparks via ssh and key (no username and password) only for the config to break again when i go back to nvidia sync.

Does this nvidia sync actually work on Windows 10 ? I use windows 10. i know MS say they dont support it any more. Is this also the case with Nvidia and they dont support sync on win 10?

Im going to add that everything works fine on windows 11. It seems Windows 10 is no longer supported

Windows 10 is supported. If you can share the nvsync.log that would be helpful in debugging. Failing to find the key usually means either the config file got messed up, or the alias name is somehow failing to resolve to an actual config so the key is empty.

Where is this log? i cant find it on the spark. is it on the spark or windows?

The “dial unix” errors are internal communication within Sync

Can you provide your C:\Users\MyUserAccount\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\Sync\config\ssh_config file? If you don’t want to provide the whole file, I’m specifically looking at the IdentityFile line for the “Host 192.168.1.126” entry

Also, can you verify that the IdentityFile exists.
