Hello,

To connect to a certain server, I've received keyfiles :
key.ppk
key.priv
key.pub

The person who gave me that use putty on windows.
There is putty on linux (the system I'm using) but I don't see why I should do that with this ugly interface why I can do it simply in the terminal

I read that I had to put the content of the key (the ppk or priv ?) in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
I tried to connect with "ssh -i /path/to/key.ppk root@myserver" but it still ask me the password (which I don't know)

as it didn't works with the classical ssh, I gave a try to putty but here I've a message "Server refused our key" and ask the pass
same with the command line "putty -i /path/to/key.ppk root@myserver"

any idea ?

I'm starting wondering if the guy did something wrong on the server side...

thank you

ok there was a problem on the server side

the ~/ssh/authorized_key is for the server only

to connect, I've to use

ssh -i mykey.priv login@myserver
