"Unable to authenticate using any of the configured authentication methods?" to Debian

Hi. I just installed Debian v3.1 overnight since I was replacing old
Red Hat Linux 7.1 OS. I installed it cleanly (wiped out everything on a
30 GB HDD). I installed SSH daemon and client from apt-get install.

I cannot ssh (1 and 2) into this box due to these errors:

SSH2 says "Unable to authenticate using any of the configured
authentication methods".

SSH1 says "The server does not support authentication type Password ...
The server supports the following authentications: RSA TIS"

Note this test was just from a Windows box to a Linux box on an Intranet!

How do I make SecureCRT work with this Debian system? I hope I don't
have to upgrade SecureCRT v3.4.8 since I prefer 3.x version (4.x is
bloated to me). I would use PuTTY, but it doesn't have zmodem which only
SecureCRT has. I know I can use SCP, but it doesn't have file transfer
resume availabilty and UI is annoying.


Thank you in advance.
