Import private key from SecureCRT to linux ssh

[shivendra]

Hello Guys,

You know what I use secureCRT often to connect through ssh to unix hosts. Right now I switched to use Linux fedora4 but WindowsXp.My doubt is that how do I import private key from securecrt file into openssh? I aware of the fact that I can make new private-public key and distribute newly made public key to hosts I normally connect, but would like to store my effort.Somebody suggest a method to transfer private key from secureCRT to openssh.

any thoughts?

I noticed one thing in a private key file of this type is a pair of primes. OpenSSH vehemently saves them with the larger one first,
and PuTTY expects that. So if you download the current PuTTYgen snapshot, you should find the issue has gone away.if you use the current snapshot to import one of those key files and suddenly export it again in the same format, you can notice that the result has the primes in the usual order and that older versions of PuTTYgen can sustain with it as well

I know this thing in order to add a SecureCRT.pub into the required format for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys when OpenSSH is being utilized.
ssh_keygen -Xf key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.that had effect with me

Friend, I should tell you this Unlucky, this is not exact option.The actual format of SecureCRT's key is proprietary.Mainly the conversion tool is presently being treated for possible inclusion in a future publication of SecureCRT.it will be available shortly.if the SSH server is not set for PK/PK authentication then <the path to private key> is silently avoided on the server side and you can select the option.
