How to connect using SSH with PuTTY

#1

Hi,
it might be a stupid question, but how can I use the ssh key ?
I´m trying to connect using putty (on windows)
I generated a ssh key and upload the key in my account key management page.

I tried to use putty, but server is sending public key.
And I cannot figure out how to configure putty to connect to api@dynv6.com using my pub key.
Could you please give a more detailed example on how to connect to the api ?

Thanks.

I’ve just added support for importing public keys in PuTTY format to dynv6. They look like:

---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Comment: "ed25519-key-20200626"
AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIMYNA+B1/GPIClI+9+Md9Ck37smehIP4iF7IkFpJ
w1K/
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----

Did you successfully import your key? What is the exact error you get when the connection fails?

Now it´s working and I could login.
Putty settings used:
Host name: api@dynv6.com
Port 22
Connection > SSH > Auth > Privatekey for authentication = file with private key in putty format.

Thanks
