Trying to SSH into Ubuntu VPS from powershell, keep recieving public key error

I read through some other threads of similar issues but none of the solutions worked (haven't tried overwriting the public key as I don't know if that will lock me out or cause other issues, if this is a quick fix I'll do it right away). I am running a Linode nanode VPS with Ubuntu 24.04 on it and am trying to SSH into it from Powershell. I used ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096, created a public-private key pair stored in C:\Users\me/.ssh/id_rsa. I ran ssh -v username@hostname and received the following log OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2 debug1: Connecting to xxx.xxx.xx.xx [xxx.xxx.xx.xx] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_rsa type 0 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ed25519 type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_xmss type -1 debug1: identity file C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_xmss-cert type -1 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_9.6p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu13.5 debug1: match: OpenSSH_9.6p1 Ubuntu-3ubuntu13.5 pat OpenSSH* compat 0x04000000 debug1: Authenticating to 172.105.97.31:22 as 'me' debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: algorithm: bwah25519-sha256 debug1: kex: host key algorithm: awaw-sha2-nistp256 debug1: kex: server->client cipher: chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com MAC: compression: none debug1: kex: client->server cipher: chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com MAC: compression: none debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_ECDH_REPLY debug1: Server host key: KEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY debug1: Host 'xxx.xxx.xx.xx' is known and matches the ECDSA host key. debug1: Found key in C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/known_hosts:1 debug1: rekey out after 134217728 blocks debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: rekey in after 134217728 blocks debug1: pubkey_prepare: ssh_get_authentication_socket: No such file or directory debug1: Will attempt key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_rsa RSA KEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY debug1: Will attempt key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Will attempt key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ecdsa debug1: Will attempt key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug1: Will attempt key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_xmss debug1: SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO received debug1: kex_input_ext_info: server-sig-algs=nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com,sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com,rsa->sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256> debug1: kex_input_ext_info: publickey-hostbound@openssh.com (unrecognised) debug1: kex_input_ext_info: ping@openssh.com (unrecognised) debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_rsa RSA KEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: Trying private key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Trying private key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ecdsa debug1: Trying private key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_ed25519 debug1: Trying private key: C:\\Users\\me/.ssh/id_xmss debug1: Next authentication method: password debug1: read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such file or directory I'm not sure what is causing this error and any help is appreciated. If I just need to make a new key and send it to my server again (a pain on powershell since ssh-copy-id doesn't work...) I will, just need advice on this matter.
