    It sounds like you generated a public key in the standard format
    expected by (e.g.) the ssh.com server, by using the "save public key"
    button. You can avoid the need for the above ssh-keygen step by copying
    the key from the "Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys
    file" box.
