Re: Using keys generated from outside (General questions)

Thanks for the response. But I've tried to load the key and it crashes my .NET ssh program. I basically copied the private key from the Linux target (from .ssh2 directory) and the key is something like this:
---- BEGIN SSH2 ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY ----

...
---- END SSH2 ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY ----

I copied and pasted the text into a text file in my development (Windows) and try to load it using Load method and it crashed.

using WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography;
WeOnlyDo.Security.Cryptography.KeyManager wodKey;
string KeyFile = c:\id_rsa ;
wodKey.Load(KeyFile);

What did I do wrong?
