OK It works now but I'm still not sure what was going on exactly.

I used the puttgen to create the keys and copyied the pub to au..keys2

I've checked the documentation on the public keyformat and private keyformat

I was trying to create the private key on the server and move it to the host.

How is it possible to do that?
