      Hi All,

      ssh -i /root/.ssh/jrising.ppk jrising@jrising@webdev2.belmont.edu -p 7879

      I have tried to create an ssh tunnel. Putty creates it well while openssh sucks.
      Need urgent help

      Regards,
      Deepak

        Are you trying to use the same key file that you use for PuTTY?  If so, then that is your problem.  You need to convert it to the format that OpenSSH uses (the key generator for PuTTY can do this).
