Thank you very much.

I have converted my key to OpenSSH using PuttyGen and it works ... kinda:

Do you have an idea why the connection doesn't establish successfully?

Hi! I am using RDM Free 2021.1.40.0 on Windows 10 and it works fine for RDP and for SSH connections where I can log in with username and password.

But I cannot get it to establish a SSH connection with my private key file.

In PuTTY I enter my username and the path to the private key file in the connection details and can connect with a single click on "Open".

In RDM I always get asked for a password. I cannot get it to use the key file.

After fiddling around in the advanced I somehow got RDM to show me the messages it's receiving and the problem is

"Unknown file type: PuTTY-User-Key-File-3: ssh-rsa":

This is, er, disappointing. How should a key file be formatted for RDM to accept it?
