[Sheflug] SSH2 keys an Putty



This may sound a bit off topic..........................
 
I am trying to find out how to configure Putty for windows to use ssh2 keys to authenticate against a Suse 8.1 box.
 
I have sorted out how to do it linux to linux, and can now use scp to copy our backup files arround.
 
I now need to look at doing the same thing from a windows NT box, I have followed the various instructions found
on google, but can only get to the stage where I get "Key is of wrong type (Putty SSH2 private Key)"
 
I have generated a ssh2 RSA 1024 bit key, with no passphrase, added the public key to /root/.ssh2/authorisedhosts2,
and then specified the coresponding private key when I attemt to connect with putty.
 
What am I doing wrong?
