Converting Putty SSH keys to OpenSSH

by Craig Mayhew on Sun 14th Mar 2010 under Guides/Fixes

I recently needed to convert my Putty SSH files into OpenSSH so I could use them in NuSphere.

  1. Open your private key in PuTTYGen

  2. Export it in OpenSSH format. Top menu "Conversions"->"Export OpenSSH key".

  3. Save the new OpenSSH key when prompted.
