So you are using the server to try and log in to your workstation?
I think maybe you have it the wrong way round...
a)generate the key on your workstation
b)copy the public key to the server,
in /home/useryouloginasontheserver/.ssh/authorized_keys
c)unlock the private key on your workstation
d)log in to the server
Hope that helps,
