Importing EC2 keypairs

[Mads]

Hi

I've been trying to import an Amazon EC2 keypair (.ppk) to ISSH. ISSH
accepts the key, but the server is refusing it. Does anyboy have a
fool-proof way to copy-paste the key correctly?

Sorry. The key exchange stuff is a place where I'll admit the
documentation is very much lacking. While iSSH should be able to take
either a putty private key file or an OpenSSH format private key file,
you may find you have more success with an OpenSSH private key file
instead. If you can, grab the key export as an OpenSSH key file and
cut and paste from the line that begins "-----BEGIN" to the line that
begins "----END". Hopefully this will work better for you.

Hi,

Thanks.

I tried again and now everything works fine. Imported the *.pem key
with no problem. I dont know what happend the first time, and I can
confirm that everything works. Very nice program indeed. Support for
multiple keys is my primary feature request.
