This may be news to you but OpenSSH is the weirdo here, which is why few if any other clients support it. It uses it's own key format, not the SSH2 format. Just do the following to convert your OpenSSH key to a SSH2 key for use on normal, standard clients: ssh-keygen -xf openssh.format.key > ssh2.format.key Your file names will of course vary. About five minutes searching google and another 30 seconds reading the ssh-keygen manpage could have saved a lot of frustration and wasted time.
