    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!
