I know that is possible to convert .ppk under puttygen in Windows, but how to do that on Linux? Is this possible ?

Do it with Putty.
Linux: with your package manager, install PuTTY (or the more minimal PuTTY-tools):
- Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install putty-tools
- Debian-like
apt-get install putty-tools
- RPM based
yum install putty
- Gentoo
emerge putty
- Archlinux
sudo pacman -S putty
- etc.
- Ubuntu
OS X: Install Homebrew, then run
brew install putty
Place your keys in some directory, e.g. your home folder.
Now convert the PPK keys to SSH keypairs:cache search
To generate the private key:
cd ~
puttygen id_dsa.ppk -O private-openssh -o id_dsa
and to generate the public key:
puttygen id_dsa.ppk -O public-openssh -o id_dsa.pub
Move these keys to ~/.ssh and make sure the permissions are set to private for your private key:
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
mv -i ~/id_dsa* ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_dsa
chmod 666 ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
If you have already tried to perform a 'git clone' operation you might need to do this also
chmod 666 ~/.ssh/known_hosts

If you came here looking for how to do it in windows, run "puttygen yourkey.ppk", and then under the Conversions menu choose "Export OpenSSH key" to get the private key.

.ppk files are the full key pairs, I don't think the command above or the blog post apply to that.

I think I meant that it works if you use puttygen's "Save public key" button. ssh-keygen do not understand true .ppk files because they lack those '---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----' markers. You can find the public key in the .ppk file between lines "Public-Lines:.." and "Private-Lines:.." though.

This worked for me with a public-key file - puttygen seems to require a private key. it's seems that all it did was rearrange the base-64 part into a single line

This does not seem to cover private keys, which is why I would want to do the conversion, I already have a public key saved somewhere...

Get the private key:
open the .ppk file in puttygen:
puttygen ~/.ssh/id_dsa.ppk
export as openssh:
Conversions → Export OpenSSH key
Get the public key:
open like before the private key with puttygen, the public key is under
public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file

I prepared a Docker container to make life simpler:
docker run --rm
--volume=/path/to/file.ppk:/tmp/id_dsa.ppk
--volume=/path/to/output:/tmp/out/
czerasz/putty-tools
Where:
/path/to/file.ppk- local path to your ppk file
/path/to/output- local path to where the private and public key should be placed

I think I meant that it works if you use puttygen's "Save public key" button. ssh-keygen do not understand true .ppk files because they lack those '---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----' markers. You can find the public key in the .ppk file between lines "Public-Lines:.." and "Private-Lines:.." though.

This worked for me with a public-key file - puttygen seems to require a private key. it's seems that all it did was rearrange the base-64 part into a single line

This does not seem to cover private keys, which is why I would want to do the conversion, I already have a public key saved somewhere...

.ppk files are the full key pairs, I don't think the command above or the blog post apply to that.

Get the private key:
open the .ppk file in puttygen:
puttygen ~/.ssh/id_dsa.ppk
export as openssh:
Conversions → Export OpenSSH key
Get the public key:
open like before the private key with puttygen, the public key is under
public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file

I prepared a Docker container to make life simpler:
docker run --rm
--volume=/path/to/file.ppk:/tmp/id_dsa.ppk
--volume=/path/to/output:/tmp/out/
czerasz/putty-tools
Where:
/path/to/file.ppk- local path to your ppk file
/path/to/output- local path to where the private and public key should be placed
