Hi Lutz,

thanks, ssh-keygen is part of windows since
Win10 and I used it for generating keys which worked on the server and filezilla as a client and also openssh-keys (parameter "-o") which worked also well but also not with chilkat.
And as you might have read, also puTTYgen which worled as well too and also not with chilkat.

Best regards

Thomas

******************************
Thomas,

Create your own pair?

Do you have git for windows installed?
If:

open via bash ("Git bash here" in explorer, never mind where)
cd ~
ls -la|grep ssh
if this shows a folder .ssh, open windows folder %USERPROFILE%\.ssh (you might set visibility, or enter .ssh in the bar)
secure the files in it

on bash, if the folder not exists
cd ~
mkdir .ssh
then
cd ~/.ssh

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C user@$domain

replace user@$domain with something meaningfull and enter password if asked and needed.

open windows folder %USERPROFILE%\.ssh
The file id_rsa.pub is your public key, id_rsa the private one.

Note, to give a different filename following might work. But I'm not too much inti keygen, so I give a way I know working.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C user@$domain -f filename
Any linux machine can do this, but remember to save ~/.shh, or you might loose your keys.
Else, let me know, I send you as many pairs as you need. :)

Lutz
