Public key on windows machine to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys format
I am probably being stupid but if a client sends me a public key file which looks like:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----

---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
What is the best way to get this into the correct format and into an ~/.ssh/authorized_keys format. I always end up having to manually edit it and then cut and paste it to the format.
ssh-rsa AAAAd3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAl3cTBx1TvQDtgyk0Jtgl0FhMCPR.....
Would be great is there was a command which would allow me to upload it onto the server and would then copy it into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and it would put it in the right format.
Any help greatly appreciated.

ssh-keygen -i -f input.pub > output.pubThank you so much, that just save me a lot of time and pain :-)
I hope you're not manually cutting and pasting
cat output.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keysThere is also a ssh-copy-id to copy (and set correct chmods
) to authorized_keys file. No idea if there is a windows binary, but happy googling ;-P
No already got that part working and have deployed the needed public keys in half the time, thanks for the help
