Error: Failed to recognize key format

Post by tilmannbrenk »

I need to upload files to an sftp server using a public key.
I created private and public key using PuttyGen with RSA 4096 bit.
The connection is configured and I tested it successfully using WinSCP.

Then I configured the connection in Reflector. But when I click the "Test Settings" button I get an error message:
"Failed to recognize key format. Supported formats are OpenSSH, SSH.com and PuTTY."
Does Reflector have a problem with my local private key or with the public key on the server?
What can I do to make it work?

Yes, I think you should convert your Putt key to OpenSSH format.
