 +Different file formats are used to store SSH-1 and SSH-2 private keys. While there is only one commonly used format for SSH-1 keys, there are several formats used for SSH-2 keys. WinSCP supports PuTTY format, as authors of PuTTY [[&url(keyformat)|claim that it is the best one]].

 +WinSCP also recognises (but does not accept) the other two formats (OpenSSH and ssh.com), so it can suggest you to convert them. To convert the key file use [[ui_puttygen|PuTTYgen]] application.
