Trying to use an SSH2 key with an SSH1 connection seems to be quite
common, so I've added a FAQ. [originally from svn r1697]

\S{faq-ssh2key-ssh1conn}{Question} Why do I see "Couldn't load private
|
||||||
|
key from ..."? Why can PuTTYgen load my key but not PuTTY?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's likely that you've generated an SSH protocol 2 key with PuTTYgen,
|
||||||
|
but you're trying to use it in an SSH 1 connection. SSH1 and SSH2 keys
|
||||||
|
have different formats, and (at least in 0.52) PuTTY's reporting of a
|
||||||
|
key in the wrong format isn't optimal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To connect using SSH 2 to a server that supports both versions, you
|
||||||
|
need to change the configuration from the default (see \k{faq-ssh2}).
