Puttygen rsa private key
Import rsa private key into putty

If you created your rsa identity with openssh's ssh-keygen, you can use it with putty.I've created public key using:on the linux machine.
Howto import it to putty and which extension should have a public key file?Member
if you didn't use "ssh-keygen -t rsa -f my_key", then the two files you get are called:identity
identity.pubidentity is the private key, identity.pub is the public part.Copy those files to the machine you run putty on- you can put them anywhere.Then create a new Putty sessions, and in the options panel, go to Category -> SSH -> Auth and in the box that says "Private key file for authentication", select the "identity" file.identity.pub contains the public key half that you add to your .ssh/authorized_keys filehope that helps!You can also use the Pageant program that is included with putty. Load the "identity" file, and make sure that in SSH -> Auth you have the "Attempt Authentication using Pageant" box checked.good luck!Senior Member
