使用SSHTool将Putty私钥转换为OpenSSH私钥

Question

In my java project I create a SSH tunnel with a server. The tunnel is authenticated currently using a putty private key and plink. Does anybody know how to use the java SSHTool library to either convert a putty key to a openssh key or use SSHTool library to create a ssh tunnel using a putty key? Thank you.

Answer 1

Jsch only accepts opensh keys, not the format that putty creates the keys in. You would have to convert them. Use puttygen.exe to convert to openssh, then use the openssh keyfile in jsch.
