I started a github project a few weeks ago. I was able to push changes without any problems (I'm using TortoiseGIT).

Suddenly today when I tried to push my changes, I got "PuTTY Fatal Error" "Disconnected: No supported authentication methods availble" error window.

Anything you can recommend to remedy the problem?

For me there was a problem to perform actions against the remote repository only when using TortoiseGit, through CMD / GitBash there have been no issue at all.

So what I did was Very simple: I opened TortoiseGit-->Settings --> Network and in SSH Client I changed to "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe" instead of "TortoiseGitPlink.exe".
