Puttygen problem about converting

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi,

I try to convert pub key to ppk and usualy I don't have problem with that but since a week, I got that error, idea? thanks

~/.ssh$ puttygen id_ed25519 -o id_ed25519.ppk
puttygen: error loading `id_ed25519': unrecognised cipher name

how is this related to openwrt ?

cause I need that to use winscp with my openwrt and my pc, I know I can use ssh from my terminal but I prefer winscp and I need ppk key, voila mon chers ami the geek.

So ssh can be related to open wrt, ppk key too etc

you're not answering the question.

are you executing the puttygen command on a device running openwrt ?

While this is obviously not related to OpenWrt, some things to try:

  • Does the key have a passphrase? If so, remove it first.
  • How old is your puttygen? It might not support the algorithm of your key.
