Remarks
-
Save method will store contents of private key from
memory to file on your disk drive. Key is saved using
PEM format, simply base64 encoded
data surrounded by header lines, which makes it exportable
(and importable) to other SSHD engines. Optionally (and
suggested) you can specify the password to be used when key
is written to disk, so only yourself (and the server) can
read saved key. Don't forget to use the same password
when Loading
key from disk.
Written file contains only plain ASCII
characters.
