So I use windows and so when I first setup my server I had a pem key that I converted into a PPK using puttyGen. Now I no longer have the pem and need to access the server from a mac which uses .pem files. Is there any way to extract the .pem from the .ppk file OR is there anyway to download a new .pem file once I am on the server via the ppk. Thanks for any info

  1. Copy the putty key to your mac
  2. Install Homebrew (if not installed)

  3. Install putty command-line on your mac

    brew install putty

  4. Extract your private key

    puttygen id_dsa.ppk -O private-openssh -o id_dsa

  5. Extract your public key

    puttygen id_dsa.ppk -O public-openssh -o id_dsa.pub

  6. Move the extracted keys to your $HOME/.ssh
