Puttygen
Run puttygen.exe to convert the "id_dsa" file to a putty format. This
is because the private key file format is not specified by some
standard body. To do this open "puttygen" and open the "conversions"
menu and chose "Import Key" file. Then browse to the "id_dsa" file,
and select "SSH-2 DSA" field. Finally click "Save private key" and
save the file as "id_dsa.PPK" somewhere on disk.
(PuTTYgen is an RSA and DSA key generation utility)
Why the putty stuff? Just use Cygwin's ssh! Just copy the
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file into your Cygwin .ssh/authorized_keys file. (Use
ssh-user-config to generate keys). No extra application (putty) required.
