Does anybody know a way of either converting (on android) a putty key to something I can use in ConnectBot, or a good android SSH app that can use Putty keys natively?
I am away from home without my laptop, which I would usually use. I only have my android phone with me.
A few months ago I tried creating RSA key pairs to use with Putty on my laptop and ConnectBot but for some reason I just could not crack it so gave up. I also used puttygen to create an RSA key but it would not work on ConnectBot
The best practice is that the device private key should never leave the device. One device, one key. A device is lost or compromised? Remove that device’s key from your list.
I also use ConnectBot and importing a private key generated elsewhere never worked for me, so I generate directly in ConnectBot itself and add its public key to my server, which is what I should do anyway.
