hi

I've created id_rsa private key using:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Howto convert id_rsa to .ppk putty format?

I'm always a big fan of brevity especially when working from the command line. So, FWIW, you do not need to use "-t rsa" to spec out an rsa key when using ssh-keygen.

From the man page:

If invoked without any arguments, ssh-keygen will generate an RSA key for use in SSH protocol 2 connections.
