This is a really nice web page for puTTY. I'm confused about how to get a puTTY generated private key to work with OpenSSH. The puTTY created key I use keeps getting refused by the OpenSSH server. I know I need to put the public key generated by puTTY in the authorized_keys file on the server I want to login to. Hopefully, I did that part and set the permissions correctly. Then my next step is to connect using the puTTY private key? Or do I first have to convert that private key to OpenSSH format? Thanks!
