"The key format is not a supported format"

Post by anastassssss »

Hi! When I try to connect with Cyberduck to my server thru SFTP and using Public Key authorization I always get this error: "The key format is not a supported format". What's wrong with the file? It works ok under WinSCP for example...

Please help!

Hi,

Since your key works with WINSCP, I guess it might have the extension *.ppk, isn't it? This key is only supported by PuTTY. To use your key, simply open it with PuTTY Key Generator, select a topic as "Convert key" and choose the ssh format. That new generated key should work with Cyberduck. I had to figure out the same problem. Good luck!
