[SSH] How to Create a Private Key for Poderosa from a Putty Private Key

I switched from Putty to Poderosa for my Windows SSH client.

At that time, I needed to recreate the private key from the Putty format to the Poderosa format, so here are the steps.  

■ Private Key File Names

  • Putty: id_rsa_putty.ppk
  • Poderosa: id_rsa_poderosa.sshcom

■ Steps

  1. In the public/private key creation tool PuTTYgen, go to “File” → “Load private key” and load the Putty private key id_rsa_putty.ppk

  • Go to “Conversions” → “Export ssh.com key” to create the Poderosa private key (here I named the file id_rsa_poderosa.sshcom)

  • That’s all.
