SFTP connection unsupported key format












0















I'm trying to connect to a remote server using a SFTP connection with visual studio code. I'm using the sftp
extension. The error I'm getting says that my private key is in the wrong format. enter image description here



The configuration file looks like this.
enter image description here



My private key is in an openSSH format. How do I get it to connect?

          This turned out to be a problem with the Mac private key format. Generating a key in PEM format gets rid of the error.
