Re: Putty/OpenSSH Public key auth

Hello,

I am currently using Public Key generated by Putty on Opensshr server 
OpenSSh.
Il have used Puttygen.
After choosing the key to generate, and click "Generate", the key 
appears within the upper Windows.
Select the key in the buffer, including all signifiant characters, and 
copy them in a buffer by Ctrl-C. Do not select non printable caharacters 
afters the last signifiant character of the key!
Open a new .txt document file, and paste the buffer to the document.
The file must include two lines: The key type, and a line with the key. 
Save the file.
Put the file to the right place on your OpenSsh machine.

It's ok for me!
