Hi all, I'm having difficulties importing my server's key into
connectbot. This is what I did:

- Generated the file (.ppk) with puttygen
- The keyfile works, because putty can also connect to the servey by
using this keyfile
- Copied the file to the SD card
- When I try to open the file connectbot says: "Problem parsing
imported private key"

What am I doing wrong?

ConnectBot only parses OpenSSH-style keys. You can select to export in
this format in PuTTYGen under the Conversions menu.
