Re: SSH.com client / OpenSSH server / RSA key auth

I'm almost certain you will need to convert the key to the other type, 
they seem to format there keys differently. I generated a key with my 
windows SSH.com client and sent it to my server then I needed to convert 
it.  I don't recall the option that converted the key.

Hope that helps -
