SFTP With Key Generated in ConnectBot

Hello,

This is a pretty awesome app. I have ConnectBot configured with RSA 4096-bit key. SSH works properly with it.

However, using the same key, I am unable to connect with SFTP in AndFTP. Is this a known issue? I thought I read on the 'wish-list' that this was being worked on. If so, what's the status?

Thanks!

Save the private generated by connect bot on your SDCard. The key has to be in OpenSSH format.
Then setup a SFTP connection and in advanced section, select your key file and optionally the password.

I think I'm running into the same problem. I've exported the key from ConnectBot by copying it to the clipboard (there appears to be no save option), and pasted the contents into a text file.

AndFTP is complaining about the format.
